Maxwell Technologies Inc. recently announced its plans to open a new manufacturing plant in Peoria, a nearby suburb of Phoenix. The project will create anywhere from 150 to 200 jobs and will inject $26 million into the local economy.
San Diego-based Maxwell Technologies creates energy-storage and power-delivery products for the transportation, industrial, and telecommunications industries. The company's ultracapacitors can be used in computers, buses, hybrid and electric vehicles, and wind turbines, among other things.
According to an article by The Arizona Republic, Maxwell Technologies chose Peoria as the site for its new facility because of the state's renowned universities, a favorable business climate backed by state economic development groups, and low electric rates.
The company plans to begin hiring for the new facility next year. Positions are available for manufacturing, technical, and administrative professionals, with the average employee earning abut $50,000 per year.
Maxwell plans to hire factory workers and technicians first, and will add more research and engineering-related work over time. Assembly work will be contracted to manufacturers in Mexico, Central America, and Asia.
Maxwell Technologies employs more than 400 people throughout the world. Aside from San Diego and Phoenix, the company also does business in Switzerland, the U.K., Germany, China, and Asia.
