Golden State Assembly LLC, a manufacturer of communications, power and lighting cables, is about to move into the largest vacant industrial space in Morgan Hill.
The company, based in Fremont, is expanding its operations into the 81,185-square-foot building at 18220 Butterfield Blvd. in Morgan Hill, according to Morgan Hill Economic Development Director Edith Ramirez.
Alien Technologies formerly occupied the building, which sold for $8.35 million in January.
Golden State Assembly manufactures cables for power, lighting and communications for the medical, automotive, solar, consumer, communication, audio, video and technology industries. The company specializes in custom assemblies, box builds, full integration systems and harnesses, according to a press release from Ramirez.
Golden State Assembly employs 260 people at their Fremont manufacturing plant, and is currently hiring for both locations. They’re planning to expand their total staff from 260 to about 680, according to Ramirez.
Cesar E. Madrueno, President of Golden State Assembly, said he is excited about their recent acquisition in Morgan Hill.
“Morgan Hill is a strategic move for us because this expansion in south Silicon Valley will allow us to quickly get up and running in this building, in a location that has a reverse commute, and will allow us to quickly expand our workforce to be operational within a couple of months from purchasing the building,” Madrueno said in a statement.
The company will host a soft opening celebration and walkthrough of the building with city staff and one of Golden State Assembly’s key customers 11:30 a.m. April 25 at 18220 Butterfield Blvd.
