MONROE, La. — Faith Technologies Incorporated™ (FTI) announced it will invest $80.5 million to establish a new manufacturing facility in Ouachita Parish, expanding production capacity of electrical components and solutions for large-scale infrastructure projects to move faster and operate more efficiently.
The company is expected to create at least 200 direct new jobs offering competitive compensation packages with entry-level positions starting at $22 per hour. Employees will also have access to continued education and career advancement through FTI’s apprenticeship program, which enables individuals to begin in entry-level roles and, over four years, become licensed electricians while earning and learning on the job. Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will generate about 350 additional indirect jobs, bringing the total potential impact to more than 500 new job opportunities across the Northeast Region.
“Louisiana is seeing the benefits of our historic economic momentum build on itself,” LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois said. “As new companies continue to choose our state, we are seeing suppliers, partners and supporting industries follow. This announcement is another sign that Louisiana is building the business ecosystem and supply chain capacity needed to strengthen our competitiveness and create new opportunities for our people and communities.”
The project will establish FTI’s first Louisiana location at 535 Highway 594 in Monroe to support its Excellerate® brand. The 500,000-square-foot facility will use modular and lean construction methods to produce electrical assemblies and energy solutions in a controlled manufacturing environment before they are delivered to project sites. The added capacity will help FTI serve growing demand in clean energy, technology and infrastructure markets.
“Monroe represents an exciting opportunity for FTI as we continue expanding our manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand for innovative energy and electrical solutions,” FTI Executive Vice President Pat McGettigan said. “This facility will allow us to grow strategically while creating high-quality career opportunities and investing in the future of skilled manufacturing in Northeast Louisiana. We’re proud to bring our Culture of Care to Monroe and look forward to building strong relationships within the community.”
Founded in 1972, FTI is a national leader in engineering, construction, manufacturing and clean energy solutions. The company provides end-to-end electrical planning, design and installation services that support its partners and more than 5,000 team members through innovative solutions and a strong commitment to excellence.
Construction is underway, with project completion and operations expected in spring 2027.
