Austin-based manufacturing and supply chain company Flex (Nasdaq: FLEX) is expanding its U.S. manufacturing capacity with a new 400,000-square-foot Dallas manufacturing facility that is focused on power products for data centers.
Flex said its new Dallas facility at 4001 N. Prairie Creek Road in East Dallas “significantly boosts production capacity and efficiency” for its grid-to-chip data center power infrastructure solutions, including power pods, power distribution units, and low-voltage switchgear.
Dallas Innovates first wrote about the facility last February.
“As AI adoption accelerates, the need for reliable, efficient, and scalable power infrastructure grows,” Chris Butler, president of Embedded and Critical Power at Flex, said in a statement. “Our new Dallas facility positions us to deliver next-generation power infrastructure solutions that help customers maximize computing performance while reducing deployment times. We are committed to tackling the complex power challenges of AI-enabled data centers.”
The company said the strategic investment enhances its ability to meet the rising power infrastructure demands driven by AI adoption and reduces production lead times for U.S. customers.
Flex said it continues to invest in its capabilities to serve the data center market.
The company said that after its acquisition of Garland-based Crown Technical Systems in October 2024, the new Dallas facility will serve as a central hub, bringing together technical power pod fabrication and assembly with utility-grade capabilities in the U.S., enabling faster and more efficient distribution for its growing North American customer base.
Flex has a proven track record of scaling power pod production in EMEA and is leveraging that expertise for its U.S. expansion.
Flex said that through the collective strength of a global workforce across 30 countries and responsible, sustainable operations, the company delivers technology innovation, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions to diverse industries and end markets.
