en.Wedoany.com Reported - Faith Technologies Incorporated (FTI) has broken ground on an $80 million, 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Monroe, Louisiana.

The facility will support production under FTI's Excellerate brand, utilizing modular and lean construction methods to pre-manufacture electrical components and energy solutions in a controlled manufacturing environment before transporting them to project sites for delivery.

FTI is a Wisconsin-based provider of engineering, construction, manufacturing, and clean energy solutions. The company expects the facility to begin operations in spring 2027 and anticipates creating over 200 direct jobs. The Louisiana Economic Development (LED) estimates the project will also generate approximately 350 indirect jobs.

The new plant will initially recruit positions such as foremen, supervisors, and manufacturing leads. FTI plans to gradually add other roles, including entry-level positions, paid apprenticeships, and support functions, to meet the company's overall operational growth and safety needs.

Employees will also have access to continuing education and career advancement through FTI's apprenticeship program. This program allows individuals to start in entry-level roles and become licensed electricians within four years.

To secure the project for Monroe, Louisiana offered FTI a competitive incentive package, including comprehensive workforce development solutions through the LED FastStart program. The company is also expected to participate in the state's high-impact job and industrial tax exemption programs.
