MMR Group has opened a new $55 million modular systems assembly facility in Lafayette, reports Lafayette Today. The 200,000-square-foot facility is expected to expand the production of electrical components used in industries such as semiconductors and data centers, creating nearly 200 permanent jobs with an average annual salary of $85,000.
The plant is designed to move the assembly and testing of equipment into a controlled production environment, previously done at construction jobsites. It will produce critical elements for the construction of AI and data centers throughout the U.S. MMR Group has already purchased additional property in Lafayette to prepare for a future expansion of the facility.
The new facility marks an expansion of MMR Group’s footprint in south Louisiana and supports the state’s broader effort to grow technology-driven industries by providing critical infrastructure for AI and national data center networks. Read more from Lafayette Today.
