JTS Opens Second Idaho Facility, Creating 140 New Jobs and Expanding U.S. Manufacturing Footprint
NAMPA, Idaho and MCKINNEY, Texas, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JTS, a Mission Critical Group (MCG) Company, today announced the opening of a new 172,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility on 14 acres in Nampa, Idaho, known as JTS Nampa 1. The $55 million investment adds 140 jobs, doubles the company's production capacity and supports long-term economic growth in the region. MCG's U.S.-based manufacturing footprint now exceeds 1 million square feet, reinforcing its commitment to building critical power infrastructure in America.
'This expansion marks a pivotal moment for JTS and the customers we serve,' said Greg Blake, President of JTS. 'We're doubling our capacity and accelerating our ability to deliver innovative, high-quality power solutions that keep critical infrastructure running. We're proud to invest in the community and drive the next chapter of American manufacturing here in Idaho.'
JTS now operates three locations – Caldwell, ID; Nampa, ID; and Abilene, TX – to support its growing customer base with fully integrated generator enclosures and modular power systems. JTS Nampa 1, located near the Caldwell facility, shares resources to maximize efficiency and was built using LEAN manufacturing principles to streamline operations.
'The new Nampa facility is more than an expansion – it's a milestone in our mission to shape the future of American manufacturing,' said Jeff Drees, CEO of Mission Critical Group. 'It strengthens our ability to serve data centers, hospitals, utilities and other critical infrastructure with dependable power solutions.

Trump, Xi Have Crossed Wires on Rare Earths, Trade Expert Says
The US and China appear to have different understandings of what was agreed on rare earths at last month's trade talks in Geneva, according to an expert on critical minerals policy. China's exports of the materials used in critical technology from fighter jets to smartphones have become a major flashpoint between the world's top economies, with US officials alleging Beijing hasn't honored a commitment to resume shipments.

LA County union workers arrested after interrupting Board of Supervisors meeting
Tensions over a recent contract battle between Los Angeles County and its workers spilled over at Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting. Several members of the Service Employees International Union, which represents the employees, were arrested when they refused to leave. "We're trying to send a message to the LA County Board of Supervisors," SEIU member Raymond Meza said. In late April, union workers staged a walkout that lasted several days. While talks have progressed since then, union leaders claim county officials are asking for unfair provisions. "The main sticking point is that the county wants to put in poison pills such as negotiating wages with us but having the unilateral ability to take it away," Meza said. "What is the point of doing this negotiation process if they can just undermine it whenever they want." The county said it's offering workers a fair deal that includes a $5,000 bonus, an additional bonus and cost-of-living adjustments. Supervisors said the county is going through one of the worst financial crises because of billions of dollars in sexual assault claims, the recent wildfires and the uncertain economic outlook. Union leaders said even with this offer the county is not bargaining in good faith. "After over 60 days without a contract, we want this settled now," Meza said.

Democrats Lose Challenge to Trump's Order on Election Commission
The Democratic Party's governing body lost its legal challenge to an executive order by President Donald Trump that it said would eliminate the bipartisan nature of the Federal Elections Commission and shift authority to the White House. In a ruling late Tuesday, US District Judge Amir Ali in Washington said he was satisfied by the Trump administration's assertions in court filings that the executive order would not curtail the independence of the agency, which was established to maintain the fairness of federal elections.
