A new high-tech manufacturer is set to join Hutto’s Titan Innovation Business Park.
Ovivo, a global water and wastewater treatment company, is poised to bring nearly 100 new jobs to Hutto. The Hutto City Council approved the facility Aug. 19, 2021, and the groundbreaking event was Tuesday, March 8.
The company plans to build and operate a 110,000 square foot manufacturing plant at the business park, led by the Hutto Economic Development Corporation (EDC) in partnership with Titan Development. Salaries for the roughly 20 or more office jobs at the Hutto site will range from $50,000 to $150,000, plus numerous hourly technician positions.
Ovivo officials say they see Hutto as ideal to serve its growing customer base in the municipal and industrial sectors across North America. Ovivo has facilities in Denmark and Canada, as well as offices in nearby Round Rock. In deciding to build its North American factory in Hutto, Ovivo says it considered the opportunity to work with a collaborative community that offers a good technical talent pool, the proximity to Texas State Technical College (TSTC) and the opportunity for future expansion in Hutto.
Joe Iannacone, senior vice president at Titan Development, said his company is excited about Ovivo’s choice.
“We believe the partnership of Titan Development and Hutto has created a very attractive site for Ovivo and other growing companies needing to expand their operations,” added Iannacone. “Titan’s Business Park’s great infrastructure and access to major roads, along with Hutto’s experienced workforce in the Austin MSA, combine to create a compelling opportunity for fast-growing manufacturers leading the Texas industrial tech corridor boom.”
The facility will produce Silicon Carbide membranes that are at the core of Ovivo’s SiCBLOX Modules and Systems. Ovivo’s Hutto facility is expected to be operational in early 2023
