Global semiconductor equipment maker ASML will become the first office tenant in office space at The Hutto Co-Op District, marking another addition to central Texas’ fast-growing tech and manufacturing region.

MA Partners, the developer behind The Hutto Co-Op, announced that ASML will lease more than 32,000 square feet of office space and about 2,100 square feet of rooftop terrace in a new four-story building, according to a news release.

ASML, based in the Netherlands, makes the high-tech machines, software and services that help companies like Samsung and Intel produce computer chips. Its technology uses light to print small patterns on silicon, a process known as lithography.

ASML already operates several offices and facilities across the U.S., including sites in Connecticut, Arizona, California and Texas.

The new Hutto location will expand the company’s U.S. footprint, aligning with Central Texas’ growing role in the semiconductor industry.

Hutto Mayor Mike Snyder said the company’s arrival complements the region’s tech expansion.

"This is a great complement to the Prologis and Skybox Data Center Campus, spanning over 220 acres, and the new Tesla industrial building covering 35,000 square feet. We are a growing community with 54 languages spoken, and the diversity of career opportunities, people and cultures in Hutto has helped make this a highly desirable location for companies seeking to establish a footprint or expand their operations in Central Texas,” Snyder said in a press release.

The Co-Op District, which also houses Hutto City Hall and the public library, features restaurants, retail and event space designed to create a walkable downtown hub.

Officials have not yet announced when ASML will open its Hutto offices.

HUTTO, Texas — After trailing by two touchdowns before its offense ever snapped the ball, Hutto rallied to take a halftime lead, then held off Round Rock, 33-31, in a thrilling District 25-6A game at Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

The Dragons (3-4, 3-2) tried for a game-tying two-point conversion following a spectacular 39-yard touchdown pass from Dov Stickler to Daniel Barry with less than one minute remaining. Round Rock could not convert a pass attempt that Hunter Frenette broke up in the end zone.

How’s that for Hippo swagger?

“This was huge for our program,” first-year Hutto head coach Eli Reinhart said. “Huge for our confidence. Huge for believing in everything we have been saying. There’s proof in the pudding now a little bit. With high school kids, that’s what matters the most.”

Hutto quarterback Kaden Stefek and two-way starter Jaiden Fields came up huge for the Hippos (5-1, 4-0). The dynamic duo connected for the first three touchdowns of the game for Hutto after they trailed, 13-0, and didn’t touch the ball on offense until the 1:47 mark of the first quarter.

“It was very similar to last week when we had the ball three times in the first half,” Reinhart said. “It’s kind of weird not having the football, but our kids were ready to go on offense. It could be easy to have a slow start, then all of the sudden it’s two turnovers of possession, and the game is lost.

“Our kids did a great job of sticking with it on both sides of the ball,” Rinehart said. “It wasn’t great early on defense, but we have done a great job at halftime of making adjustments to win games.”

Fields, a junior receiver and defensive back, got Hutto on the board with a dazzling 64-yard touchdown reception from Stefek, then added a 44-yard touchdown catch on which he tipped the ball in the air to himself to secure the grab.

Following a Round Rock punt — the first of the game for either team — Fields caught a 19-yard touchdown pass to give the Hippos the lead for good.

“At this point last season, we were 3-3,” Fields said. “It feels great to be on top of the district. If we would have lost, it would have been a big shuffle for everybody. The win keeps us at the top and keeps us going.”

Round Rock moved into field goal range late in the first half before running out of time for an attempt to keep Hutto’s lead at 20-19 at the break. The Dragons missed a pair of two-point conversion attempts in the first half.

After a 1-yard touchdown run by Stefek, Round Rock cut the lead to one on a touchdown strike from Stickler to Barry. But Hutto blocked the PAT to hold onto its 26-25 lead with 11:39 left in the game.

“We stayed motivated,” Stefek said. “Going back out on the field, knowing we were going to score, always staying positive and always trusting our guys.”

On the ensuing possession, Hutto scored on a 9-yard touchdown run by Tulsa commit Keilan Chavies. The PAT gave the Hippos a 33-25 advantage. Fields intercepted a pass on Round Rock’s next possession.

Stefek finished 14-of-24 for 276 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Fields caught six passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns and had one punt return for 17 yards.

“Jaiden is one of the best players not only in this area but in the state on both sides of the ball,” Reinhart said. “He plays every single snap, and he is a game-changer. We did some stuff with him that was a little bit different and found the matchups we wanted. He took advantage.

“It takes a quarterback who is putting the ball in the right position to give us those opportunities. Kaden did a phenomenal job. He never got stirred up, shaken. We missed some things, but he always bounced right back on the next play. He ran the ball hard tonight. Huge win. We couldn’t do it without these two. They’re vital to our program and to our team.”

Hutto is now alone in first place atop the District 25-6A standings. The Hippos have games against Round Rock Stony Point, Austin Vandergrift, Cedar Park Vista Ridge and Round Rock McNeil remaining. Hutto will look to keep rolling on both sides of the ball over the next four weeks.

“It was huge, for sure,” Stefek said. “We trust in our coach to call the plays, no matter when we get the ball, how we get it, what down we have. We know we’re going to go out there, convert a first down and score. We trust in each other.”

HUTTO, Texas —Central Texas is home to so many diverse and dynamic communities with so much to explore! in this edition of "Out and About" Trevor Scott and Sierra Waggoner took the show on the road for a very special episode live on location in Hutto! The stunning Hutto Co-Op District was the setting for this hour of We Are Austin.

This Central Texas town is full of charm, character, and a lot of hippos.

We are exploring everything this growing community has to offer—from its vibrant local businesses to legendary hometown pride.

The Hutto High School cheerleaders—a.k.a. the Hutto Hippos—joined Trevor and Sierra on set, rocking the town's energy and spirit!

And yes, Hutto loves hippos. From statues and murals to the beloved Hutto High School mascot, the hippo is everywhere!

As the story goes, in 1915, a circus train stopped at the Hutto depot, and during the break, a hippopotamus escaped and wandered into nearby Cottonwood Creek. The depot agent famously telegraphed: "Stop trains. Hippo loose in Hutto." That quirky moment in history lives on today through local spirit—and lots of hippo-themed fun.

The hosts also sported custom hippo shirts created by local business Procraftination, which specializes in custom apparel. These exclusive designs are available only through the Hutto Chamber of Commerce and can be picked up at the upcoming Olde Tyme Days festival.

And speaking of local favorites, Texan Café & Pie Shop delivered a sweet surprise to the live set—homemade pie slices straight from their scratch kitchen, which has been serving up comfort food and desserts since 1996.

With locations in both Hutto and Taylor, the café is a must-try for anyone craving classic Texas flavors.
