space is independent and largely insulated from broader economic or geopolitical factors, which is a real advantage.
“ The other area seeing significant growth is vertical take-off and landing( VTOL) transport, which is basically the flying car. Companies like Joby, as well as Uber, are among more than 100 organizations that have been competing to develop vehicles capable of taking off and landing vertically to serve big cities. Their goal is to do this electrically, so that their VTOL vehicles meet the sustainability requirements that come with operating in urban environments. It is extraordinarily difficult from an engineering standpoint, but that complexity is precisely where a company like ours adds value by being agile and specializing in manufacturing the kind of advanced components these programs demand,” John states.
Manufacturing specialty components for such a broad combination of sectors has generated a level of demand that has required
Janicki to expand its own footprint. Recently, the company added 162,000 square feet of manufacturing space and an extra 20,000 square feet of storage at its facility in Hamilton, Washington. This investment made sense for Janicki, as customer satisfaction has translated into a steady stream of repeat custom. Since Peter Janicki, John’ s brother, founded the company in 1993, it has grown consistently through reinvestments at every stage. As a family-owned company, Janicki’ s decisions are driven by how best to support customers and employees rather than by quarterly profit targets. It is this long-term thinking that has allowed the company to keep scaling and expanding its manufacturing footprint. The 12th facility has just been completed, which means that Janicki has constructed roughly one new building every two years over the past 25 years. By building facilities and investing in equipment, the company strives to take the best care of its customers, as that is what it was built on.
