K&W Patten’s Metal Express will open a manufacturing facility in Walker in September, which is expected to initially add 10 new jobs to the city. The 14,000-square-foot facility is currently under construction in the CoMar Commerce Centre on U.S. 190 near La. 449. K&W Patten’s plans to spend $1.2 million on the facility. K&W Patten’s produces metal roofing and steel building products for residential and commercial projects. The Denham Springs-based company has been in business for seven years. Bob Estave, who runs K&W Patten’s with his son, Keith, says he selected the Walker site because of its proximity to Interstate 12 and accessibility to markets such as Baton Rouge and the Northshore.
