Primary Industries in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.
Defense
Baton Rouge's defense contribution flows through its petrochemical manufacturing expertise — machining exotic alloys and high-pressure components for refinery equipment translates directly to Navy shipboard and submarine system requirements. Proximity to Belle Chasse Naval Air Station and the Army's Fort Polk adds demand.

Baton Rouge sits at the heart of Louisiana's petrochemical corridor, driving enormous demand for industrial equipment. ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge refinery — one of the largest in the U.S. — requires a constant supply of API-spec pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and compressor components. Dow Chemical's Plaquemine complex and BASF's Geismar operations add demand for chemical-process equipment. Entergy Louisiana's power generation fleet requires turbines, cooling systems, and material-handling equipment, and the Mississippi River's barge traffic supports crane, conveyor, and bulk-handling OEMs.
