Janicki Industries (Sedro-Woolley, Wash., U.S.) is constructing a 162,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and a 20,000-square-foot storage expansion at its Hamilton, Washington, campus. The facility, called Building 12, will add 350 jobs and substantially expand the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities in support of several aerospace programs.

This project marks the company’s latest in a series of expansions to meet growing demand. Since 2020, Janicki has increased its headcount by 105% and expanded its operational footprint to more than 1 million square feet in Washington state.

Building 12 will be equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, including what the company says is the “largest autoclave north of Everett,” an oversized oven, an automated fiber placement (AFP) machine, paint and grit booths, a large nondestructive inspection robot and Janicki’s largest proprietary five-axis CNC machine to date. The building will also expand cleanroom space by another 25,000 square feet to meet increasing demand for advanced composite production.

“This new facility and advanced equipment enable us to tackle more complex projects, expand our production capacity and further develop the skilled workforce essential to our success,” says John Janicki, president of Janicki. “We remain dedicated to providing our employees with the best tools and resources to deliver top-quality products and service. These investments are central to achieving our long-term growth objectives.”

Sustainability features are integrated into the facility. More than 45,000 square feet will be constructed with mass timber, reducing the building’s overall carbon footprint, and a 500-kilowatt solar panel array.

Construction is underway, and the facility is expected to be fully operational by March 2026. Hiring has begun for positions ranging from entry-level engineering and manufacturing roles to senior leadership opportunities. Janicki anticipates continued growth as new programs come online and customer needs evolve.
