July 2006 • Volume 3, Issue 7 This issue home | Past issues | Chamber home Automated Circuit Design Purchases Office, Warehouse Space In Richardson Automated Circuit Design (ACD), which designs and manufactures printed circuit boards, has purchased a 52,800-square-foot building in Richardson through a partnership with American Presidential Properties, LP. The new location at 1250 American Parkway, near the intersection of Arapaho and Plano roads, will serve as the corporate headquarters for the company, which has 80 employees. The building is currently under renovation to accommodate expanded high-tech manufacturing space and warehouse space, along with individual offices for designers and executives. The company will move into 30,000 square feet of the new space in mid-September 2006. Founded in 1984, ACD has been located in Richardson for the last 12 years. When researching new office space, the company elected to stay in Richardson because of the city’s pro-business environment. “It is clear just how important the business community is to the City of Richardson,” said W. Scott Fillebrown, president and CEO of ACD. “The city goes out of its way to support companies that are located, or thinking of relocating, here. Every city official, from top to bottom, is willing to work with companies upfront to help them save money, avoid delays and be successful in their given industries.” Today’s announcement comes on the heels of other significant activity nearby in Richardson, including the recent completion of Texas Instruments’ $3 billion semiconductor fabrication plant, the opening of Phase I of The Shire mixed-use project, the groundbreaking for a new 128-room Hilton Garden Inn on the Bush Turnpike and the recent announcement by Countrywide Financial Corp. of its intention to begin occupying an additional 150,000 square feet of space at the Lakeside Centre I development by July. “We are very excited about Automated Circuit Design’s decision to stay in Richardson and invest in a significant piece of commercial property,” said John Jacobs, senior vice president of the Richardson Economic Development Partnership. “The presence of this global industry leader certainly enhances Richardson’s reputation as the center of the high-tech industry in North Texas.” About Automated Circuit Design (ACD)Founded in 1984, Automated Circuit Design (www.acd.biz) is a leading supplier to the electronics industry, through its design and manufacture of printed circuit boards that are used in computers, projection systems and chip testers.
