Hyve Solutions, the server design and manufacturing arm of TD SYNNEX, announced on August 19, 2026 that it will build two advanced manufacturing campuses in Nevada (a 624,000-square-foot flagship site in Reno and a second facility in North Las Vegas) to expand U.S. production of the compute, storage, and networking systems that feed AI data centers. Together, the two campuses are expected to create approximately 3,000 jobs.
The announcement lands two weeks after the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development approved tax abatements for both Hyve projects at its August 5, 2026 board meeting, the final step in a site-selection process the company ran with state and regional development agencies. Hyve, a wholly owned TD SYNNEX subsidiary headquartered in Fremont, California, designs and builds customized rack-scale systems for some of the largest cloud providers: the physical boxes that GPUs and accelerators get racked into before they ever reach a data hall.
What the Two Campuses Add
The Reno campus is the larger of the two. At roughly 624,000 square feet, it becomes Hyve’s flagship Nevada site and expands the company’s domestic surface-mount technology capacity, the SMT lines that place chips and components onto printed circuit boards before those boards become servers. That is the capital-intensive end of electronics manufacturing, and it is where much of the AI server supply chain has historically been concentrated in Asia. Hyve’s announcement frames the Reno build explicitly as an expansion of its existing U.S. SMT footprint, not a relocation.
The North Las Vegas facility extends Hyve’s manufacturing reach into Southern Nevada. The company describes open roles spanning production, engineering, quality, supply chain, warehouse, and operations, with a mix of hourly and salaried positions across permanent, trade, and contingent categories. Hyve says compensation will run above Nevada’s statewide average wage, with medical, vision, and dental benefits.
“Nevada gives us the space, the workforce and the business climate to grow our manufacturing capability at the scale our customers need,” said Jerry Kagele, President of Hyve Solutions, in the company’s announcement. “Expanding our advanced manufacturing capacity lets us add this work here in the United States, and we’re proud to be creating good, long-term careers as we do it.”
Hiring is already underway. Hyve says it is ramping recruitment as quickly as possible, drawing on Nevada’s workforce and university talent pipeline, with open positions posted on its careers portal. The company runs a dedicated Las Vegas hiring page seeking manufacturing managers, operations leaders, and technical contributors.
What the State Approved for Hyve’s Nevada Build
The GOED board’s August 5, 2026 approvals spell out the project-level economics. For the Reno facility, represented by Northern NV Now, the state approved $3,672,117 in tax abatements against a projection of 974 jobs at an average hourly wage of $32.10 within two years, $31,420,000 in capital equipment investment over the same period, and $59,334,238 in new tax revenue over the abatement period. The North Las Vegas facility, represented by the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, received $1,030,430 in abatements against 240 jobs at an average hourly wage of $38.55, $8,702,285 in capital equipment investment, and $19,448,537 in new taxes.
The City of North Las Vegas put a 10-year frame on its portion: the 240 jobs there are expected to generate $19.5 million in state and local tax revenue over the abatement period. Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown said the company aligns with the city’s economic development vision and noted Hyve’s pledge to support workforce development through partnerships with local education providers and community organizations.
Hyve’s two projects were the largest job creators in a nine-company abatement package worth $17,633,378 that GOED approved the same day — a slate projected to create 2,159 jobs over five years across Clark, Washoe, Storey, and Lyon counties, and to bring $152,991,437 in capital equipment investment into the state. Governor Joe Lombardo pointed to the package as evidence the state’s business-climate pitch is converting into actual factory floors.
Why Server Manufacturing Is Following AI Demand Onshore
Hyve occupies a specific and increasingly strategic slot in the AI hardware stack. It is an original design manufacturer: it does not sell under its own brand but designs, integrates, and builds the servers, storage arrays, and networking platforms that hyperscalers and large enterprises deploy under theirs. The company’s partner roster, which includes NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Broadcom, Micron, Seagate, Western Digital, Sandisk, Vertiv, and Chenbro, reads like a bill of materials for an AI cluster. When a cloud provider orders tens of thousands of GPU servers, companies like Hyve are where those systems get their boards populated, their racks integrated, and their burn-in testing done.
Hyve describes its role as an integrated ODM, CM, and SI partner delivering ‘single-partner accountability from design through scale.’ Hyve’s announcement ties the expansion to ‘increased customer demand’ for AI, cloud, and digital infrastructure systems, and the GOED filing shows both Nevada facilities framed as high-tech manufacturing job creators. TD SYNNEX, Hyve’s parent, is one of the largest IT distributors in the world, with more than 150,000 customers across more than 100 countries, and Hyve is its vehicle for capturing the manufacturing margin on the AI infrastructure wave rather than passing it to a contract manufacturer.
The Nevada siting follows a pattern now visible across the AI buildout: manufacturing and assembly capacity is chasing the same logic as the data centers themselves — cheap land, available power, a willing workforce, and a state government that moves fast on incentives. Nevada has landed a string of data-center and hardware commitments on exactly that combination, and the GOED package that carried Hyve’s approvals also included a Colovore data center facility in Storey County. The buildout’s physical layer (the buildings, the boards, the racks) keeps widening well beyond the chip announcements that dominate the data center headlines, with capital flowing into everything from inference hardware production to the factories that assemble it.
What Happens Next in Reno and North Las Vegas
The near-term milestones are operational rather than ceremonial. Under the abatement terms, Hyve’s job and capital-equipment projections are two-year commitments (974 jobs and $31.4 million of equipment investment in Reno, 240 jobs and $8.7 million in North Las Vegas), so the first checkpoint on both campuses lands in 2028. Hyve says hiring is ramping now across both sites, and the SMT capacity at the Reno flagship expands a domestic SMT footprint the Fremont, California-headquartered company already operates. For the cloud providers waiting on those racks, the relevant number is not the square footage but how quickly populated boards start rolling off the new lines.
