We traveled to Sedro Wooley, WA, with a group of community leaders to learn about Janicki Industries first hand. We toured, talked with people, and met several Montanan's working at Janicki (looking forward to moving home). Janicki Industries is moving to the big city as their home town is just 13,480. When you walk through the shop everyone from the top to the newest hire know each other by their first names. It's truly a comradery. We'll fit great together!
