Janicki is expanding to Great Falls, Montana.
Janicki has selected AgriTech Park in Great Falls as the site for its next manufacturing campus. The $800 million investment will add 600,000 square feet of production space in its first phase and one million square feet at full build-out, supporting composite and metallic parts, prototypes and assembly work for aerospace, defense and space customers.
Construction has begun at the site, with the first phase opening by the end of 2027. Later phases will add production space as hiring and customer demand grow.
Sustained growth across those markets calls for additional capacity. Janicki’s Great Falls location builds on more than three decades of manufacturing in Washington and Utah, extending that growth into a new state.

About Janicki
Family and employee owned. Built in America.
Janicki is a family and employee owned engineering and manufacturing company, founded in 1993 in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, with operations in Washington and Utah and, soon, Montana. We are a Tier 1 supplier of aerostructures, aerospace tooling, munitions structure and marine hardware, and the sole source on a range of platforms. Aerospace and defense programs depend on our tools and composite structures, often with no other supplier.
We are 2,500 people today, one of the largest independent aerostructures businesses in America, and we design and build our own ultra large 5-axis mills, among the world’s largest. Great Falls is the next chapter of that story.
The site
Why Great Falls?
Janicki conducted feasibility studies across multiple states before selecting Great Falls. The city offers the land, workforce pipeline and community partnerships needed to support a manufacturing campus of this scale, and AgriTech Park provides room for the campus to grow in phases over the next decade.
Janicki worked closely with the Great Falls Development Alliance, state and local government officials and schools throughout the selection process. That partnership continues as the campus moves from planning into construction and beyond.
Washington and Utah
Washington and Utah remain home.
This expansion adds capacity. It does not replace it. Janicki’s Washington facilities in Sedro-Woolley, Hamilton, Bellingham and Mount Vernon now total more than one million square feet, and the company’s Layton, Utah campus continues to expand alongside Great Falls. Growth in Montana builds on that foundation rather than shifting away from it.
