ZT Systems to Hire 1,500 for Georgetown High-Tech Plant

A high-tech manufacturer has acquired a 435,000-square-foot building in Georgetown and plans to hire 1,500 workers by the end of next year.

ZT Systems purchased building six in the NorthPark 35 industrial park, which Albuquerque-based Titan Development Ltd. is developing near Georgetown Executive Airport.

ZT bills itself as “the leading provider of complex compute, storage and accelerator solutions for the world’s largest hyper-scale cloud and telecom service providers.”

The Austin Business Journal reports the city has millions of square feet of industrial space under construction, much of it already spoken for. CelLink Corp., an electric vehicle parts supplier, recently opened in another Titan industrial park right across the street, where the company said it could eventually employ around 2,000 people.

Along with CelLink, ZT will immediately be among the largest – if not the largest – employers in Georgetown. The largest private-sector company is currently AirBorn Inc., which is a military and aerospace supplier that designs and manufactures high-reliability electronic systems.
