German Firm EMD Electronics Invests $300 Million to Expand Semiconductor Manufacturing in Pennsylvania

US-based EMD Electronics, a subsidiary of German Merck KGaA, is set to bolster its North American presence by establishing a $300 million semiconductor specialty gases manufacturing facility in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. This strategic move, aimed at doubling their production capacity for critical semiconductor components, is anticipated to generate 68 job opportunities.

The endeavor enjoys financial backing from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, underscoring the state's commitment to fostering business expansion. This expansion not only highlights the industry's focus on supply chain resilience, domestic manufacturing, and emerging technologies like semiconductors for AI, IoT, and 5G, but also emphasizes the notable German origin of the company.
