The advanced manufacturing expansion brings a $200 million investment and up to 3,000 new jobs to San Antonio, marking a transformative milestone for Brooks and the region.
AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott today announced Industrial Electric Mfg. (IEM) is establishing an advanced manufacturing facility in San Antonio, with a capital investment of $200 million and up to 3,000 new jobs. A Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant of $3.36 million has been extended to IEM for 448 of the new jobs to be created.
“Texas leads America’s manufacturing resurgence,” said Governor Abbott. “This investment by IEM in San Antonio will create new, good-paying jobs and generate a significant economic impact for Bexar County. Advanced manufacturers invest and expand in Texas because of our welcoming business climate, easy access to domestic and global markets, and highly skilled and growing workforce.”
IEM manufactures power distribution systems, remote power panels, switchgear, and switchboards supporting diverse industries. The facility at Brooks, formerly Brooks Air Force Base in southeast San Antonio, will expand IEM’s North American manufacturing capacity by leveraging Texas’ logistical and workforce advantages.
