Power Temp Systems has been honoured as a 2025 Louisiana Growth Leader by Louisiana Economic Development (LED). The announcement was made during the Spotlight Louisiana Awards, the state’s premier annual event celebrating entrepreneurial achievement, innovation, and community impact.
This year’s ceremony, held at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Centre, was the largest gathering to date to celebrate Louisiana’s dynamic and growing small business community. The Growth Leader recognition highlights companies that not only excel in business but also contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy and society.
Governor Jeff Landry praised the honourees, stating, “These honourees aren’t just building successful businesses; they’re driving what’s possible when Louisiana’s entrepreneurial grit meets statewide support and unprecedented momentum.”
Founded as a regional provider of portable power equipment, Power Temp Systems has transformed into a national leader in temporary and permanent power infrastructure solutions. Under the forward-thinking leadership of CEO Mark Mire, the company has dramatically improved industry timelines, reducing the production of power distribution units (PDUs) from an industry-standard 14 months to just 10 to 12 weeks. This accelerated delivery has allowed clients to scale projects more efficiently and effectively.
In the past two years, Power Temp Systems has experienced remarkable growth, increasing its workforce from 40 to 110 employees. The company also launched a cutting-edge innovation and testing centre and broke ground on a 2,00,000 square foot manufacturing campus, which is expected to quadruple its production capacity. Notably, over 80 percent of the company’s new hires are Louisiana residents, many of whom have transitioned from the hospitality and energy sectors, furthering the company’s mission to invest in and uplift the local workforce.
“Louisiana has been the best place for us to grow,” said CEO Mark Mire. “This state gave us the people, the grit, and the support to build something meaningful. We’re proof that world-class innovation doesn’t have to come from a tech hub. It can thrive in a community that believes in its people.”
Power Temp Systems joins a distinguished group of 2025 Louisiana Growth Leaders who are collectively projected to employ more than 1,000 people, generate $700 million in sales, and attract over $400 million in new capital to Louisiana in the coming year.
Susan Bourgeois, Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development, emphasised the broader significance of the award, noting, “The 2025 Louisiana Growth Leaders are redefining what is possible. They are anchoring local communities, blazing trails in innovation, expanding into new markets, and building wealth that uplifts entire regions.”
