Flex has announced an expansion of its manufacturing capacity through a 400,000-square-foot facility in Dallas, Texas. The site is intended to support customers requiring power infrastructure for data centres. This Company File presents the company’s announcement separately from independent analysis. The announcement was issued on 20 February 2025 and covered by Manufacturing Dive on 25 February.
Product scope of the Dallas facility
According to Flex, the building will bring together fabrication and assembly of power pods, power distribution units and low-voltage switchgear. The company describes Dallas as a hub for its North American customer base and says the investment is designed to support production efficiency and shorter deployment times. Those benefits are the company’s stated objectives, rather than measured outcomes reported for the new site.
- Power pods: integrated units used in the delivery of electrical infrastructure.
- Power distribution units: equipment that distributes electricity within the supported installation.
- Low-voltage switchgear: equipment within the stated manufacturing product scope.
The announced building size describes the facility’s area. It is not a measure of annual production, installed electrical capacity or completed customer deliveries. Flex’s announcement does not assign the area to a specific number of products or customer installations.
Expansion within the power-infrastructure business
The company links the project to demand for electrical infrastructure associated with artificial-intelligence adoption. Chris Butler, president of embedded and critical power at Flex, described the facility as part of its effort to serve those requirements. Flex also identified its earlier acquisition of Crown Technical Systems as relevant to the combined fabrication and utility-grade capabilities.
The Dallas project follows that October 2024 transaction. Manufacturing Dive reported the acquisition value at $325 million and said a spokesperson expected initial Dallas deliveries during summer 2025 while staffing was under way. That timing was an expectation at the date of the report; this statement does not present it as evidence that deliveries had already occurred.
