Qnity leaders and government officials, including Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, celebrate the opening of Qnity's new 385,000-square-foot facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Newark, Delaware.
The new facility, part of a multi-year investment to expand advanced manufacturing, increases capacity to meet rising demand for semiconductor materials driven by the rapid growth of AI, high performance computing, and advanced connectivity — all of which are contributing to the semiconductor industry's projections of $1 trillion in global revenue in the next few years.
"The expansion of Qnity's domestic manufacturing footprint further strengthens our operational agility to meet ever-shifting customer needs, ensure global and regional capacity, and advance collaborative innovation through strategic investments," said Jon Kemp, Chief Executive Officer at Qnity.
The location is home to a newly commissioned manufacturing line producing components for Qnity's leading chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pads, the polishing discs used for smoothing the chip's surface during fabrication, an area in which Qnity is a leader in the global supply chain.
The line provides enhanced reliability and quality improvements essential for the use of CMP pads at the most cutting-edge, advanced nodes, where the complexity of AI chip fabrication requires more CMP steps per wafer during production, a source of major growth potential for CMP materials in the era of AI transformation.
Attended by Delaware Governor Matt Meyer and other government and community leaders and partners, the ceremony officially commemorated the opening of the new facility's first manufacturing line.
"Delawareans win the future when we build the things that power next generation technologies for the world," said Governor Matt Meyer. "Qnity is doing just that, which means more jobs and more opportunity, and reminds us that Delawareans are manufacturing the future of semiconductors and advanced electronics right here, outside Newark."
