en.Wedoany.com Reported - Janicki, a Washington state-based company that provides tooling and components for advanced industrial manufacturing, plans to build its third production facility in Great Falls, Montana, with a total investment of $800 million, expected to create approximately 2,000 jobs.

Janicki announced on Tuesday that the project will complement its existing production facilities in northwestern Washington state and the Salt Lake City suburbs. Founded in 1993, this privately held engineering and manufacturing company designs and builds tooling, components, assemblies, and prototypes for various industries, including aerospace, defense, construction, and marine applications. The company specializes in composite manufacturing and precision machining, using its proprietary five-axis milling machines, which are reportedly among the largest in the world.

Company officials stated in a press release that growth, particularly in aerospace and defense projects, has pushed demand beyond its capacity in Washington state and Utah. They said the Montana plant will be part of a "multi-state, phased growth strategy." The company plans to build a campus that will add 2 million square feet of production space over the next decade. The project is expected to create approximately 1,000 jobs in the first five years, and once construction is complete, it will generate over 2,000 jobs in total, roughly doubling its current workforce.

According to the Montana Free Press, Janicki will receive a 50% property tax abatement from the city and county for five years, followed by a gradual phase-out over the subsequent five years. These incentives will apply separately to the four construction phases of the project.

Janicki expects to begin construction next month and open the first phase of the new facility by the end of next year.
