Officials with ZT Systems, a computer server manufacturer, announced Oct. 13 a new manufacturing facility for the company is being built in Georgetown.
A closer look
The 430,000-square-foot cloud-computing manufacturing facility will be located in the 146-acre NorthPark35 industrial development, which is situated at the intersection of I-35 and SH 130.
ZT Systems will create up to 1,500 high-tech jobs with the development of the new facility, according to a news release.
Headquartered in New Jersey with locations nationwide, including Austin, the company creates and provides technology infrastructure for cloud and telecom service providers.
The new facility in Georgetown will be the first of its kind in the city, officials said.

“We are thrilled to inaugurate this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the growing tech ecosystem of Greater Austin,” ZT Systems President Doug Huang said in the release.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome ZT Systems into our community,” Mayor Josh Schroeder said. “The investment and jobs ZT Systems will bring to Georgetown make this one of our most significant economic development projects in our city’s history.”

While company representatives did not respond to Community Impact's request for comment, ZT Systems is expected to reach full capacity in 2024, according to the release.
