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.

A $34K job is much better than no job. Even if it is about $10K a year better than fast food.

$34k is average--when you factor in management, exec pay--the lower level isn't much.

Pretty standard for a regional glass company doing this type of thing. There are a few skilled jobs on the floor that will fetch a little more. Entry will start around $12/hr for non-skilled. Skilled will begin in the range of $16-17/hr. Non-skilled will top out around $14-15/hr. Skilled tops out around $19-20/hr. As with most manufacturing jobs, technology has reduced the demand for highly skilled positions on the floor. Computer tables calculate the most efficient ways to cut the sheets and do all the cutting. Machines do most of the drilling and cutting with loading/unloading being the main human labor. Running the tempering oven takes some skill and knowledge for 1-2 guys with one support man. A real good guy running the bands for insulated units makes all the difference on quality of the product. The guy who runs our bands is an absolute pro and makes it look like an art.

I say we, but it's the family business in Middle TN. I haven't worked there in about 7 years.

What people seem to be losing sight of, a deal like this isn't only about the direct jobs created...

The trickle down effect from all these jobs being added both in EBR and Louisiana will be huge, not just now, but down the line.
