Super Micro Computer plans new San Jose tech campus where hundreds could work
SAN JOSE — Super Micro Computer plans to create a new manufacturing hub in San Jose in an expansion that would mark the tech company’s largest operation in the United States.
The new campus, at and near the corner of Qume Drive and Commerce Drive, could lead to the creation of hundreds of jobs and is just the latest expansion for the company in the city.
“By growing our Silicon Valley footprint and deepening our U.S. roots in San Jose, where we are creating high-quality professional roles, we are able to advance domestic innovation, solution value, and production capacity,” Super Micro Chief Executive Officer Charles Liang said.
The company leased the 32.8-acre campus with addresses of 2222 Qume Dr., 2350 Qume and 2150 Commerce Dr. from Bridge Development, a real estate firm that developed the industrial complex.
Super Micro Computer is also busy with the redevelopment of a former Fry’s Electronics store site at 550 East Brokaw in San Jose.
The company said the new manufacturing hub would total at least 714,000 square feet. Once fully occupied, the site would bring Super Micro’s regional footprint to at least 4 million square feet.
“Super Micro’s expansion adds more advanced manufacturing, testing, and distribution capacity in San Jose, strengthening our position at the center of the global AI economy,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said. “This investment accelerates next-generation AI infrastructure, creates high-quality jobs and drives local economic growth, ensuring the innovation economy benefits all residents.”
Super Micro refers to its new tech hub as a data center building block solutions site.
“The facilities will support a full range of domestic operations, including advanced system design, manufacturing, testing, and service,” Super Micro stated.
The future Super Micro tech hub is also slated to support global distribution for the company’s AI building blocks.
“This new campus, which becomes our largest in the U.S., is a direct investment in American innovation and manufacturing leadership,” Liang said.
Super Micro anticipates that it will be able to create hundreds of new jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and business functions, the company stated.
The new campus will also reinforce Super Micro’s long-term commitment to local workforce development and production hubs that are based in the United States.
“Our team will continue to drive the next wave of data center innovation,” Liang said.
Super Micro believes the new campus will help it deliver mass production of infrastructure for new artificial intelligence technologies.
Manufacturing can be a difficult endeavor in the Bay Area, with its high housing and commercial property costs, but Super Micro’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Michael McNerney said the company is familiar with those challenges.
“We have been manufacturing in the Bay Area since 1993,” McNerney said. “We have conducted major production activities in Silicon Valley since the 1990s. There is also a re-industrialization dialog about wanting to build this infrastructure in the U.S.”
The timeline for the full utilization of the campus wasn’t immediately known.
