Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories announced Tuesday that it has completed the purchase of a new 240,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Post Falls.
The recently constructed building on North Beck Road will be used to manufacture electronic devices that protect and control electric power systems and other critical infrastructure. The facility is expected to initially employ approximately 250 people, with additional jobs planned as production increases. SEL plans to begin hiring in spring 2027, with operations expected to start in mid-2027.
The company says the location was selected partly because of its proximity to existing SEL facilities in Pullman, Moscow, Lewiston and Spokane Valley.
SEL based in Pullman currently employs more than 5,000 people across the Inland Northwest.
