GlobalFoundries (GF), global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, will relocate its headquarters to Malta, N.Y., the site of Fab 8, the company\u2019s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility\u2014as the company positions itself for growth, strengthens partnerships with customers and recruits new talent. <\/p>\n
GF has invested more than $15 billion in its Fab 8 facility over the last decade to support innovation and manufacturing capacity. In 2021, the company is doubling its planned investment to expand global capacity, with $500 million targeted for Malta, NY alone.<\/p>\n
The move from GF\u2019s previous headquarters is part of the company\u2019s commitment to address the soaring global chip demand, with a focus on semiconductor manufacturing innovation. GF will maintain a substantial presence in Santa Clara, CA where many of GF\u2019s leading U.S. customers and ecosystem partners are based.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, GF\u2019s Fab 8 in New York is a $15 billion advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility and one that is playing a key role in the transformation of our industry to meet rapidly accelerating demand,\u201d said GF CEO Tom Caulfield. <\/p>\n
\u201cGlobalFoundries\u2019 transition of its headquarters to Fab 8 in Malta is further indication of the company\u2019s commitment to growth in New York and to the Empire State\u2019s leadership in the semiconductor industry,\u201d said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who successfully passed into law new federal semiconductor manufacturing and R&D incentives in last year\u2019s National Defense Authorization Act. \u201cThe chips that GlobalFoundries manufactures here in Malta are critical to our national security and to our economic competitiveness across key industries. I have worked closely with GlobalFoundries over the years to look for opportunities to expand their presence in New York and I am now pushing to secure the federal funds necessary to implement programs we passed into law last year to support further expansion of domestic chip production by companies like GlobalFoundries, accelerating even more growth in the semiconductor industry across Upstate New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
GF employs more than 15,000 globally with 7,000 people across the U.S., and nearly 3,000 at its Fab 8 in Malta, New York. In 2020, GF announced a land purchase option to provide additional flexibility to expand Fab 8\u2019s footprint to support growing demand from the U.S. government and industry customers.<\/p>\n
