Fibrebond has commenced construction on a new 297,000-square-foot electrical integration facility, which was first announced in April 2024. Expected to be fully operational by July 2025, this expansion will boost the company’s total space to over 1 million square feet on its 254-acre site.
The construction of this facility will bring over 100 additional workers to the Fibrebond site, increasing the total number of individuals on campus to approximately 1,000, which includes direct employees, contract workers, and the construction team.
Fibrebond specializes in the manufacturing and integration of sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems for data centers, fiber, industrial, and utility sectors. The growing demand for Fibrebond’s electrical solutions is fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud services, and increased investment in energy infrastructure. This year, over 90% of the company’s production will be shipped outside of Louisiana.
From 2022 to 2025, Fibrebond is investing $125 million in capital expenditures, expanding its capacity by 200%.
Preparation for the project began in February 2023, with 20 acres of land undergoing precision leveling to accommodate the “M3” facility. Local firms Aillet, Fenner, Jolly, & McClelland, Inc. and Kevin Bryan Architect were responsible for the design and engineering aspects. After a competitive selection process, Brinkmann Constructors, a St. Louis-based firm listed in the ENR Top 100, was chosen as the general contractor. Several subcontractors from the Minden area are also involved.
