Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) has bought a new 30,000 square foot office and call center facility in Reynosa, Mexico creating 500 new jobs. The facility is Reynosa’s first call center and is expected to expand economic opportunities for local residents when it opens in November.

In addition to the facility’s customer care capabilities, ACS will be able to expand this facility by custom fitting a separate portion in order to offer customers the ability to handle mailroom needs, scanning, and data capture.

The facility can be expanded to create an additional 30,000 square feet of office or call center space and employ an additional 600 individuals. ACS currently employs approximately 4,600 people in five locations in Mexico.

Chris Tranquill, Managing Director of ACS, commented: “We believe this location is ideal because it offers employment opportunities to an area that is rich in talent with an educated workforce. Our customers have been looking for an opportunity like this. We can meet their needs by investing in this community which will create jobs and opportunities.”

Reynosa is home to four universities, one technical institute and six technical training centers with two new universities under construction in the region. There are also a variety of English language institutes to support the demand for English speaking workers. Every year about 5,000 college students enter the workforce in Reynosa.
