GlobalWafers to invest $4 billion into U.S. chip manufacturing after opening Texas plant

Wafer.

It was 2022 when GlobalWafers first began the motions to open a US-based chip manufacturing plant in Sherman, Texas. This move was planned well before the Trump administration's tariff situation, but it seems to have excellent timing given the current economic impact of hardware imports. According to Chairwoman Doris Hsu, the new facility will be followed up with an additional $4 billion investment to help support chip manufacturing in the US, as reported by WSJ.

News of the additional $4 billion investment came from the opening ceremonies held for the new Sherman, Texas, plant. It's here that GlobalWafers intends to pursue further US-based operations going forward. GlobalWafers isn't alone in this endeavor, as TSMC has also made plans to invest in the US chip manufacturing market.
