On Dec. 4, ASM announced a $300 million project that moves its Phoenix-based North American headquarters — which opened in 1976 and currently employs more than 800 people — to Scottsdale. The semiconductor supplier’s new 250,000-square-foot facility will create 500 high-paying jobs and is expected to finish construction in three years. At completion, ASM’s North American headquarters will serve multiple functions, including a new research and development lab, a global training center, and supply chain and manufacturing engineering.
“This is a momentous occasion for Arizona’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem,” says Gov. Katie Hobbs. “Arizona is quickly becoming a global epicenter for sustainable technologies, including electric vehicles, solar energy, batteries and, of course, semiconductors. The influx of companies coming to the state demonstrates the modern and unique business environment that Arizona offers. Today’s announcement and ASM’s renewed investment in our state is further proof of that.”
