Jabil Expands Manufacturing Footprint in Silicon Valley

Regional economies are highly impacted by manufacturing, partly due to the productivity gained through automation and advanced technologies within the sector since 2001. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, manufacturing generates $1.40 in economic activity for every dollar invested. 

With the Grand Oaks and Blue Sky facilities in San Jose, Jabil has been contributing to the local economy for the last 30 years, empowering brands that empower the world.  

“We have been a fixture in San Jose’s capital equipment manufacturing community for three decades,” said Craig Trotter, Vice President of Jabil's Capital Equipment Sector. “We are committed to meeting the growing and diversifying needs of engineering teams and customers in Silicon Valley and beyond.”  

Today, Jabil is excited to officially launch its new 110,000 square foot Silver Creek mechanical integration facility in San Jose, further enabling a community known for driving innovation worldwide. The new facility will address the growing demands of Jabil customers looking for specialized expertise and resources for complex fabrication, welding, assembly and integration services.   

With so much focus on manufacturing in the U.S., Jabil is committed to providing engineering excellence towards solving the toughest problems brands face when translating an idea into a differentiated and manufacturable world-class product.  

At the event, Mayor Sam Liccardo presented Jabil with an award for 30 years in San Jose, reinvigorating manufacturing and creating more middle-income jobs for residents.  

"I want to thank Jabil for their continued investment in San Jose," said Mayor Sam Liccardo. "Congratulations on leading the contract manufacturing industry and driving economic growth in Silicon Valley for three decades. We are grateful for the nearly 1,000 jobs Jabil provides and we look forward to supporting the company’s success."
