ExxonMobil has been named the 2024 Large Manufacturer of the Year by the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), recognizing the company’s growth, modernization, and positive community impact across Louisiana. This award highlights ExxonMobil’s steadfast dedication to innovation, quality, and community engagement in the state.

ExxonMobil earned this honor due to its significant advancements in manufacturing, including a recent $230 million investment in the Baton Rouge Complex. This modernization effort enhanced the facility’s technological capabilities, created new jobs, and provided a substantial boost to the local economy.

Beyond its economic contributions, ExxonMobil has demonstrated a deep commitment to the community through extensive philanthropic support, environmental initiatives, and first-responder training programs—all aimed at enhancing economic development and community well-being in Louisiana.

"We are honored to receive the Business Excellence Award for Large Manufacturer of the Year. For generations, local families have trusted ExxonMobil as a place to build rewarding, lifelong careers. Our achievements—past and present—are a testament to the dedication, expertise, and skill of our 6,000-strong workforce," said Regina Davis, ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery Complex Manager.

The Baton Rouge operations, one of the largest refining and petrochemical complexes worldwide, play a crucial role in supplying essential fuels and chemical products that make modern life possible — like lightweight automotive parts, diapers, and synthetic rubber.

ExxonMobil has proudly operated in the Baton Rouge area for more than 115 years, beginning with Baton Rouge Refinery in 1909.
