ON Semiconductor, Phoenix, Ariz., plans to invest $51 million to support expansion of its facility in Mountain Top, Pa., which specializes in the manufacture of semiconductor discrete devices for power management applications across a wide variety of industries, including automotive, industrial, communication, and computing.
Today, ON Semiconductor occupies 437,000 square feet of space on 84 acres. The investment is planned to increase production and in turn create over 70 new jobs, including production staff, technicians, engineers, and other support staff.
“We have an outstanding team of highly motivated employees combining our technical capabilities and expansive space capacity to meet exploding business growth in critical markets for ON Semiconductor,” said Heather Carreiro, general manager at ON Semiconductor’s Mountain Top facility. “The initial phase of expansion is currently underway. I’m very proud of our accomplishments and excited about the future of our operation here in Mountain Top.”
With its acquisition of Fairchild’s product portfolio of medium and high-voltage products in late 2016, complementing ON Semiconductor’s specialization in low power, the company now has a complete suite of power conversion and power management technologies. This makes ON Semiconductor uniquely positioned to support customers across multiple sectors in working purposefully toward realizing the degree of energy efficiency desired by their customers and increasingly required by regulations.
