PEGATRON is one of the chain suppliers for Dell and Apple and Samsung.
PEGATRON Corporation, a leading global provider of AI computing services, has acquired a 168,784-square-foot facility in Georgetown, Texas, marking its first manufacturing site in the United States. This development underscores Texas's prominence in tech and AI industries, with PEGATRON’s investment bolstering the state’s growing tech infrastructure.
The company, based in Taiwan, specializes in the design, manufacturing, and service of a variety of electronic products, including notebooks, smartphones, game consoles, and smart home devices. The new Georgetown facility will help PEGATRON better serve its U.S. customers with improved solutions and services.
The project was made possible through collaborative efforts by the City of Georgetown, Williamson County, Opportunity Austin, the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office, and the Austin Regional Manufacturing Association. PEGATRON plans to invest at least $35 million in the facility and hire hundreds of employees, with an initial goal of hiring 100 within the first three years.
The facility, located at 610 Blue Springs Blvd., is set to begin construction by the end of 2025. Local leaders, including Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder and Williamson County Judge Steve Snell, have expressed enthusiasm over the long-term economic impact, particularly in terms of job creation and growth in the region’s high-tech manufacturing sector.
The project also involves performance-based economic development agreements, which will be reviewed by local officials to ensure the commitment to capital investments and job creation is met.

An increasing number of Taiwanese companies are establishing a presence in Austin-area suburbs like Hutto, Taylor, and Georgetown. As more foreign companies invest in the U.S. tech sector for its strong economic fundamentals, some, like MD, are hiring foreign workers to slash down costs.
