EVS Metal, a leader in precision metal fabrication in Pflugerville, was recognized by the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce at a groundbreaking ceremony in the One Thirty Business Park on February 28th celebrating the company acquisition of 14.5 acres and the construction of a new 175,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
The company, located at 400 S. Heatherwilde since 2001, will relocate and expand its operations to serve the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry in the region. 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. Our new facility will allow us to scale our operations and continue delivering the high-quality, precision metal products our customers expect from us,” said Robert Evans, Vice President of Operations at EVS Metal. “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 Amy Madison, PCDC Executive Director. “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.
