AMZN, Wiwynn Expand Texas Operations

The Texas facility is part of Amazon’s broader effort to strengthen its supply chain by bringing custom hardware production to the U.S. and building domestic capacity for its infrastructure needs, the company said in a statement.

Gary Szilagyi, Amazon vice president of Annapurna Labs, said the company’s investments in Texas have “created more than 86,000 jobs across the state.” Szilagyi added that Wiwynn’s new facility will build on that impact while showing how collaboration with manufacturing partners can strengthen the U.S. supply chain.

Deputy United States Trade Representative Ambassador Rick Switzer said Amazon’s collaboration with Wiwynn “to bring nearly 1,000 advanced manufacturing jobs to the U.S.” is an example of the type of partnership needed to strengthen the country’s supply chain.

Wiwynn’s $1.6B Texas Investment

William Lin, president and CEO of Wiwynn, said the company’s more than $1.6 billion investment in the Texas facility will help it meet growing demand from U.S. customers. This would also strengthen the “resilience of the global supply chain, and create high-value career opportunities” as it expands its partnership with the local community.

Amazon’s data centers support a wide range of services used daily by millions of people and businesses, including hospitals, emergency services, streaming platforms, and AI applications. Wiwynn’s server racks are a major part of this infrastructure, and the company’s investments support the broader U.S. economy.
