Flex to build 400,000 sq ft facility to manufacture power products in Texas

Feb. 24, 2025
The company will use the new plant to bring together technical power pod fabrication and assembly with utility-grade capabilities in the U.S.

Flex has announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. The company will use the new 400,000-square-foot plant to manufacture power products, including power pods, power distribution units, and low-voltage switchgear. According to Flex, the new facility will boost the company’s production capacity and efficiency for its grid-to-chip data center power infrastructure solutions. The company will use the new plant to bring together technical power pod fabrication and assembly with utility-grade capabilities in the U.S. This announcement follows Flex’s acquisition of Crown Technical Systems in October 2024, and the company hopes this project will enhance its ability to meet the rising power infrastructure demands driven by AI adoption and reduce production lead times for U.S. customers.

What people are saying

In a recent quote, Chris Butler, President of Embedded and Critical Power at Flex, said, "As AI adoption accelerates, the need for reliable, efficient, and scalable power infrastructure grows. 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."
