The $600 million project will include several phases, starting with the 100,000 square-foot facility. After completing that build, the columbus oh dump truck company plans to increase its production capability to include the most advanced products for filtration and purification, as well as wafer carriers, according to the release.
Its president and CEO, Bertrand Loy, said the project aims to “help shorten the supply chain” and “meet the growing needs of domestic manufacturers.” The project will generate about 600 new jobs over the next several years, according to the release.
“The semiconductor manufacturing industry is set to expand in the United States following the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act,” said Loy. “Entegris’ manufacturing center of excellence will enable our organization to play a meaningful role in this important effort.”
