KoMiCo announces investment over US$50 million in Arizona

ARIZONA – KoMiCo has signed a purchase agreement to develop a state-of-the-art advanced semiconductor equipment parts cleaning, coating and repair facility in Mesa, Arizona.

Located in the Superstition Springs area of southeast Mesa, the facility is expected to be operational in 2026, creating more than 200 new jobs.

Driven by major regional expansions by giants such as Intel and TSMC, this facility will include several clean rooms, a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment and a robust suite of diagnostic tools. With an investment of more than US$50 million, the Mesa plant will be KoMiCo’s third in the United States and eighth worldwide. The 12.5-acre site and 125,000-square-foot building will be KoMiCo’s largest facility in the United States.

“KoMiCo is proud to partner with the City of Mesa to solidify the Silicon Desert as the most technologically advanced semiconductor manufacturing region in the United States,” said Shawn Jang, CEO of KoMiCo U.S.

The company leads the industry with a dedicated R&D division and innovation driven by collaboration with its customers. This facility will be ready to serve current and future fabs, including EUV and <1nm technology nodes.

With locations in South Korea, Singapore, China, Taiwan and the United States, KoMiCo is a strategic supplier to all of its customers, including the world’s largest manufacturing groups.

KoMiCo is a subsidiary of the MiCo Group which has been joined by MiCo Ceramics, MiCo Power, MiCo BioMed and MiCo Ltd.
