EOS North America, an industrial 3D-printing company, is expanding its reach in Central Texas with plans to grow its Pflugerville campus as well as construct a new warehouse in Belton, according to a news release.
The overview
The company is investing $3 million into its facilities, meant to help increase the production of its metal additive manufacturing systems and speed up its delivery times.
The expansion includes a dedicated powder handling area and an in-house machine shop, as well as the creation of 10 new jobs at its Pflugerville production site. These jobs include engineering, quality assurance and machine commissioning roles. EOS’s metal 3D-printing systems provide support to a variety of industries, including the aerospace, medical and automotive sectors.
What they’re saying
“This manufacturing facility is not just an investment in our own infrastructure; it is also about standing shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. manufacturing community to provide products and services for a superior customer experience,” Glynn Fletcher, president of EOS of North America, said in a release.
EOS was founded in 1989 in Germany and, in May 2016, expanded its U.S. presence by opening a location in Pflugerville. Today, the company employs over 1,350 employees in 15 countries.
“The continued investment by EOS in our community is a testament to the strength of Pflugerville’s workforce and our business-friendly environment,” said Jerry W. Jones Jr., executive director of the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation. “EOS has been a cornerstone of our tech manufacturing cluster, and their decision to grow their ‘Texas-built’ capabilities here demonstrates that Pflugerville is a world-class site for global innovation.”
