Energy services company Quality Companies plans to establish and expand its operations in Jeanerette and Youngsville, Louisiana. The more than $7 million project is expected to create 125 jobs.

The investment will include a new manufacturing facility in Jeanerette and the addition of a dedicated alloy fabrication shop at its company’s existing Youngsville site.

“Quality Companies has called Louisiana home since day one, and this expansion lets us build on the relationships and workforce we’ve spent years developing right here in Acadiana,” said Tony Martinez, President of Quality Companies LLC. “Jeanerette gives us the added space and skilled trades we need to keep pace with the growing demand for fabrication and electrical assembly services on the major projects underway across Louisiana.”

To support the project, the state of Louisiana offered Quality Companies LLC. an incentives package that includes the workforce development solutions of LED FastStart and $800,000 from the Economic Development Award Program (EDAP) for infrastructure improvements.

“Quality Companies’ expansion reflects the increasing demand generated by investments taking shape across Louisiana,” noted Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois. “As major projects move forward, Louisiana companies are expanding capacity to support those investments, strengthening our industrial base and creating new opportunities for Louisiana’s skilled workforce.”

Additionally, the company is also expected to participate in the state’s Industrial Tax Exemption and High Impact Jobs programs.

Quality Companies LLC is a consortium of five energy service companies — Quality Construction & Production, Quality Production Management, Traco Production Services, Zadok Technologies, and Qualco — providing fabrication, instrumentation, electrical construction, and production services to the energy industry.

“Announcements like this reinforce what we know to be true: Acadiana continues to be a premier destination for businesses to invest and grow,” added Troy Wayman, President and CEO of One Acadiana. “Quality Companies’ expansion across two of our parishes will create new opportunities for our local workforce, strengthen our manufacturing and industrial sectors and generate lasting economic impact for the region. One Acadiana is proud to work alongside state leadership at Louisiana Economic Development as well as our regional partners at Lafayette Economic Development Authority and the Iberia Industrial Development Foundation to support the growth of businesses across our nine parishes. We congratulate Quality Companies on this exciting milestone and look forward to their continued success in Acadiana.”

“When companies already here choose to expand, it’s one of the strongest indicators that we’re creating the right environment for business success,” said Mandi Mitchell, President and CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA). “This project demonstrates that innovation and advanced manufacturing continue to thrive in Lafayette Parish. We are proud to see this investment and the retention of 174 jobs in Youngsville, and we’re thrilled to be part of the team supporting leading employers in the region like Quality Companies, alongside One Acadiana and the Iberia Development Foundation.”

“Quality Companies’ investment in Jeanerette is a strong vote of confidence in Iberia Parish and our workforce,” noted Mike Tarantino, President and CEO of the Iberia Industrial Development Foundation. “We are proud to support this expansion as it creates quality jobs, strengthens our industrial sector and contributes to the continued growth of our regional economy.”
