X-FAB Silicon Foundries

X-FAB has laid the foundation stone for the new Fab4Micro in Erfurt, which will manufacture microsystems for automotive, industrial and medical technology. The federal and state governments are funding the project with €127.4 million, and the total investment is estimated at €300–400 million. Production is planned to start at the end of 2028, and the site is expected to create around 100 new jobs. The factory is intended to strengthen Europe’s independence in semiconductor production. » More on finanzen.net

X-Fab lays the foundation for a new semiconductor fab in Erfurt, with the investment estimated at €300–400 million. The federal government and the state of Thuringia are supporting the project with a total of €127.4 million (€80.3 million from the federal government, €47.1 million from the state). The expansion is intended to relieve the heavily utilized MEMS and photonics production; the first chips are due to be produced by the end of 2028 and about 100 additional jobs will be created. X-Fab manufactures specialized semiconductors to customer specifications and is seeing strong revenue growth in microsystems and photonics. » More on finanzen.net

X‑Fab is building a new chip factory in Erfurt with investments of 300 to 400 million euros; the ground‑breaking has begun and production is scheduled to start at the end of 2028. The federal government and the state of Thuringia are supporting the project with a total of 127.4 million euros (80.3 million from the federal government, 47.1 million from the state). The expansion is driven by high utilization of the existing MEMS fab and rising demand for microsystems for AI, data centers, optics and medical technology. The new facility is expected to create around 100 jobs; the microsystems and photonics division recently reported 14 percent revenue growth in the second quarter. » More on wiwo.de
