SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) -- A manufacturing facility is expanding and creating more than 350 new jobs in Shreveport.

Gov. Bobby Jindal and Module X Solutions CEO Steve Schoonover announced the expansion Monday.

Jindal says the company will make a $7.4 million capital investment.

Module X Solutions LLC will join existing tenant MB Industries LLC at the Shreveport-owned industrial property, with Module X Solutions chiefly making modular buildings for the telecommunications sector while supporting MB Industries' production of protective building systems for the industrial, government, commercial and residential markets.

The average salary for the 357 new jobs will be more than $49,800 per year.

MB Industries also will retain 109 existing employees as part of the project, and renovation work at the Shreveport site will create an additional 50 construction jobs.
