Amazon and Wiwynn Expand Texas Server Rack Plant, Adding 1,000 Jobs
- Amazon and Wiwynn announced an expansion of Wiwynn's manufacturing operations in Socorro, Texas, and expect it to create nearly 1,000 new advanced manufacturing jobs by the end of 2027.[1][3][4]
- Employment at the facility is to pass 2,500 next year and grow to 4,000 at full capacity, once both onsite buildings are in full production.[1][4]
- Wiwynn manufactures and integrates server systems and racks for Amazon's data centers; Amazon says the plant is part of bringing production of its custom hardware to the U.S.[1]
- Wiwynn CEO William Lin cited the company's "over $1.6 billion investment in the Texas facility"; the expansion takes Wiwynn's total investment there past $1.6 billion.[1][2]
- The site at 9220 Socorro Logistics Lane is Wiwynn's first manufacturing operation in the U.S., and the expansion was marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Rick Switzer.[3]
- Switzer called it one example of Taiwan's commitment to invest $250 billion in advanced manufacturing in the United States; Amazon's Gary Szilagyi, vice president of Annapurna Labs, said Amazon is delivering cutting-edge chips as part of the investment.[1]
- Wiwynn is hiring across manufacturing and industrial engineering, testing and automation, quality, maintenance and supply chain, with some roles paying 30% above the local wage base, and is working with UTEP, New Mexico State University, El Paso Community College and Western Technical College on its talent pipeline.[1][3]
