Greenberry Industrial to create 100 jobs in Louisiana

Greenberry Industrial, a Vancouver, Wash.-based fabricator and contractor serving a variety of industrial markets, has announced it is converting a shipyard fabrication facility into a manufacturing plant. The project is expected to create 100 direct and 144 indirect jobs in Jefferson Davis Parish, La.

The plant, which will occupy the former Gulf Islands Shipyards facility located near Jennings, La., will manufacture heavy industrial modules for the petrochemical, maritime, energy, pulp and paper, and high-tech semiconductor industries.

Greenberry is investing $500,000 to retrofit the facility with updated equipment. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of April.
