EVS Metal will relocate and expand its operations in Pflugerville to serve the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry in the region, the company said.
PFLUGERVILLE, Texas—Precision metal fabricator EVS Metal will build a new 175,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Pflugerville to serve the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry in the region, according to a release from Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC).
EVS Metal was recognized by the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce at a groundbreaking ceremony in February, celebrating the company’s acquisition of 14.5 acres for the construction of the new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
The company, located at 400 S. Heatherwilde since 2001, will relocate to Pflugerville’s One Thirty Business Park and expand its operations to serve the region’s semiconductor industry. According to the owners, the new location near the intersection of SH130 and Pecan Street has easy access to their customers, with access to major transportation routes for efficient distribution and logistics operations.
“We are excited to start this new chapter at the One Thirty Business Park,” said EVS Metal Vice President of Operations Robert Evans, in the release. “Our new facility will allow us to scale our operations and continue delivering the high-quality, precision metal products our customers expect from us. We are grateful for the support from the PCDC and the local community throughout this process.”
The PCDC’s search for a suitable property to retain the company in Pflugerville was solved when a road was extended to a PCDC property previously noted as “undevelopable.”
“Over the past 18 months, the PCDC has worked with EVS Metal to extend Impact Way and all utilities to our remaining acres in the One Thirty Business Park,” said PCDC Executive Director Amy Madison, in the release. “The subdivision of this property provided the just-in-time delivery to retain this long-time partner in our community and gave EVS Metal an excellent strategic location for their growing business.”
Kristen Cepak, president and CEO of the Pflugerville Chamber, Madison, and Evans, delivered welcoming remarks, followed by a ceremonial groundbreaking with key stakeholders to mark the beginning of the construction. The new facility, slated for completion in 2025, is expected to create and retain over 80 jobs.
The Pflugerville Community Development Corporation is responsible for attracting, retaining, and expanding businesses to create new jobs and increase tax revenue to support economic development and community development in the City of Pflugerville. PCD funds may be used to provide incentives for existing and recruited companies, to construct needed infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and drainage, and for development of parks and recreation projects.
