Forging ahead in South Louisiana

Whether they are making things big or small, manufacturers in the area take advantage of:
- Our Quality Jobs Program which provides cash rebate to companies that create well-paying jobs and promote economic development
- Access to robust logistics infrastructure of air, freight train, port, and road
- Ability to recruit and retain plentiful talent from industry-focused educational institutions like the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and South Louisiana Community College
- Availability of industrial sites for expansion
“Noble Plastics spent nearly $5 million in the last five years on research and development. The R&D tax credit allowed us to take risks in new markets and technologies, creating more business in Louisiana, primarily in the defense industry…”
