Janicki Industries, a major aerospace engineering and manufacturing company, is evaluating potential expansion of its facilities to either Great Falls, Montana, or the Twin Falls/Jerome area of south-central Idaho. The company has experienced significant growth in recent years, scaling from over 900 employees in 2022 to nearly 1,900 by the end of 2025, with over one million square feet of manufacturing space. However, demand for Janicki's capabilities continues to outpace its current capacity.

Why it matters

Janicki's potential expansion represents an opportunity for economic development and job creation in the targeted regions of Montana and Idaho. As a leading aerospace supplier, Janicki's decision could have ripple effects on the local economies and attract further investment in the manufacturing sector.

The details

Janicki Industries has designed and built composite and metallic tooling, parts, prototypes, and assembled structures for many industries over the past 33 years. The company is one of the largest privately owned Tier 1 aerospace suppliers in the United States. Janicki's recent investments in buildings and equipment have enabled the company to scale significantly, but demand for its capabilities continues to exceed its current capacity.

• The company grew from over 900 employees in 2022 to nearly 1,900 by the end of 2025.

What’s next
