Glaz-Tech Industries will make a $4 million capital investment and create 50 new direct jobs in Baton Rouge at a new glass manufacturing facility.

The average salary at the plant will be $34,000 per year, plus benefits.

Louisiana’s economic development department estimates the project will result in an additional 97 indirect jobs.

The company will begin hiring and initial operations by September and complete its expansion within the next six months.

“We are proud to embrace our eighth location of Glaz-Tech Industries and are equally ambitious to begin serving Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas,” President Pete Fazlollah said.

“Louisiana continues to attract a broad array of manufacturing companies focused on our state’s growing economy,” Gov. Bobby Jindal said.
