New facility by Intel to be built in Poland
14:00
Intel has chosen the vicinity of Wrocław as the location for its new, technologically advanced Semiconductor Integration and Testing Facility. This facility will help meet the critical demand for semiconductor integrated circuit integration and testing capabilities projected by Intel to occur by 2027.
Intel estimates that the investment in the new facility will reach up to $4.6 billion, with expansion potential being one of the considerations. Once completed, the facility will employ up to 2,000 Intel employees. The construction phase alone is expected to create several thousand additional jobs, and it is anticipated that suppliers will hire thousands of additional employees. The project's preparation and planning phase will commence immediately, with construction starting after approval from the European Union.
"Poland is already a location of Intel's operations, and the country's geographical position enables efficient collaboration with the company's manufacturing facilities in Germany and Ireland. This solution is highly cost-competitive compared to other global manufacturing locations while offering significant potential associated with a talented workforce, whom we will support in their development," Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, said.
