SLB has unveiled plans for a $30 million expansion of its operations at the former General Motors assembly plant in Caddo Parish, transforming the site into a cutting-edge advanced manufacturing hub.
The expansion is set to create 600 new direct jobs in addition to the company’s current workforce of 660 employees. According to Louisiana Economic Development (LED), the project is projected to generate 744 indirect new jobs, bringing the total potential job opportunities in the Northwest Region to 1,344.
Governor Jeff Landry praised the investment as a testament to Louisiana’s ability to attract global companies. “Across the country, companies are searching for places that can deliver the industrial capacity and skilled workforce needed to compete in today’s economy, and Louisiana is answering that call,” Landry said. “SLB’s continued investment in Northwest Louisiana reinforces that Louisiana is a place where global companies grow, succeed, and choose to compete at the highest level.”
The expansion will involve constructing additional manufacturing space at SLB’s technology center located at 7600 Antoine Blvd. in Shreveport. The new facilities will support increased production of digital infrastructure and data center equipment, enabling higher production volumes to meet growing demand and ensuring long-term operational stability at the site.
