Advanced manufacturing company Janicki Industries plans to establish operations in Great Falls, Montana. The $800 million project is expected to create 1,000 jobs over the next five years.

The investment will include the construction of a new manufacturing facility on 180 acres at the AgriTech Park. Production is scheduled to begin by the end of 2027.

“We are very thankful for our customers and grateful for the employees who continue to meet or exceed our customers' needs,” said John Janicki, president of Janicki. “We believe in creating an environment where hard work, innovation and collaboration are rewarded, not only professionally, but through opportunities to build a life, own a home, raise a family or pursue entrepreneurial goals. Great Falls embodies the kind of community where we feel those opportunities can flourish.”

Janicki Industries specializes in advanced composites, precision machining, and metal fabrication. The company serves aerospace, defense, marine, transportation, and energy customers.

“We are thrilled to welcome Janicki to Montana and celebrate the company’s $800 million investment in Great Falls. Through its creation of over 1,000 good-paying jobs, Janicki will inspire innovation, strengthen our economy, and support our growing communities for years to come,” noted Montana Governor Greg Gianforte. “The Treasure State is proud to attract job creators like Janicki that choose to expand from high-tax, high-regulation blue states to take advantage of our unmatched quality of life, lower taxes, and strong workforce. I look forward to seeing the impact of this significant investment.”
