ABB completes new semiconductor unit in Switzerland
ABB has expanded its high-power semiconductor manufacturing plant in Lenzburg, Switzerland.
The expansion is the end result of a three-year, $140 million investment, which includes new buildings and additional manufacturing lines. It substantially increases production capacity at the Lenzburg unit to help meet market demand for semiconductors.
ABB also recently acquired the semiconductor business of Polovodiče a.s. in the Czech Republic to boost its production capacity.
The Lenzburg expansion will help harness production synergies and ensure maximum use of the specialized infrastructure needed to produce these high-technology products, such as clean room technology and research and test laboratories. The facility will produce a new generation of high-power semiconductors.
