The City of Richardson announced an economic redevelopment agreement this week that will assist in transforming a portion of the manufacturing operation of local company Celestica. Celestica, a leader in design, manufacturing, hardware platform and supply chain solutions, is expanding its operations in Richardson to produce groundbreaking, state-of-the-art equipment based on artificial intelligence (AI) learning systems for its U.S.-based customers.
Specifically, the expansion involves the redevelopment of 30,000 square feet of office space into high-tech manufacturing space, creating new manufacturing, supply chain and engineering employment opportunities (approximately 155 additional jobs) within the Richardson community.
The City is committed to supporting such initiatives that drive economic growth and technological advancement and the agreement builds on Richardson’s role in the DFW market as a key location for research and development in this growing sector of cutting-edge technology.
