Precision cleaning Komico expands Austin plant to better serve Samsung wafer foundry

CTOnews.com, December 3 (Xinhua)-- Komico, a fab equipment coating and cleaning solutions company, is planning to spend at least $30 million (about 211 million yuan) to expand its plant in Austin, Texas, according to The Elec.

The move is to better respond to the needs of customer Samsung, as the tech giant is building a new contract factory in Taylor.

CTOnews.com has learned that it provides solutions such as cleaning for Samsung's Austin plant for etching and other wafer processes.

Komico opened its first factory in Austin in 2006, and the new plant will be built next to it. The company will be rewarded by the local city council, and its total capacity from Austin is expected to increase by 50% in 2025.

Meanwhile, Komico's new plant in Oregon has been completed, and its main customer is the Intel D1X plant.

Intel is planning to spend $3 billion to expand its D1X plant, which will continue to provide steady revenue for Komico.
