Investment near Wrocław, Poland, will help
create a first-of-its-kind end-to-end leading-edge manufacturing
semiconductor value chain in Europe.
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Investment of up to $4.6 billion will create approximately
2,000 Intel jobs and thousands of indirect supplier and temporary
construction jobs.
- The new facility will help meet demand for assembly and test
capacity anticipated in coming years.
- Facilities will be constructed according to green building
principles and will operate with high environmental standards to
minimize carbon footprint and environmental impact.
- Intel’s investment will help the European Union work toward its
goal of a more resilient semiconductor supply chain.
Intel today announced that it has selected an area near Wrocław,
Poland, as the site of a new cutting-edge semiconductor assembly
and test facility. This facility will help meet critical demand for
assembly and test capacity that Intel anticipates by 2027. Intel
expects to invest up to $4.6 billion in the facility, which will
have the capacity to expand. When completed, the facility will
support approximately 2,000 Intel employees. The construction of
the facility is also expected to create several thousand more jobs,
in addition to eventual hiring by suppliers. Design and planning
for the facility will begin immediately, with construction to
commence pending European Commission approval.

Intel’s planned investment in Poland, combined with its existing
wafer fabrication facility in Leixlip, Ireland, and its planned
wafer fabrication facility in Magdeburg, Germany, will help create
a first-of-its-kind end-to-end leading-edge semiconductor
manufacturing value chain in Europe. It will also serve as a
catalyst for additional ecosystem investments and innovation in
Poland and across the European Union.
“Poland is already home to Intel operations and is well
positioned to work with Intel sites in Germany and Ireland. It is
also very cost-competitive with other manufacturing locations
globally and offers a great talent base that we are excited to help
to grow,” said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. “We’re grateful for the
support from Poland as we work to grow the local semiconductor
ecosystem and contribute to the EU's goal of creating a more
resilient and sustainable semiconductor supply chain.”
Mateusz Morawiecki, prime minister of Poland, said, “We are
pleased that the largest greenfield investment in the history of
Poland is being led by Intel, a Silicon Valley legend known for its
innovation. Chips and semiconductors are critical technologies in
the 21st century and we are excited to expand Poland's role in the
global semiconductor supply chain and help to establish the country
as an economic trendsetter.”
Next Building Block of a Pan-European Semiconductor
Ecosystem
Poland was chosen as the location for the new site for several
reasons, including its infrastructure, strong talent base and
excellent business environment. The new site is also well
positioned to work with Intel’s leading-edge wafer fabrication site
planned for Germany and its existing leading-edge wafer fabrication
site in Ireland. This proximity will enable close collaboration
between the three manufacturing sites and help increase resilience
and cost efficiency of the European semiconductor supply chain.
Wafer fabrication facilities (also known as “fabs”) create chips
on silicon wafers through various advanced chemical, mechanical and
optical processes. Assembly and test facilities, such as the one
planned near Wrocław, receive completed wafers from fabs, cut them
into individual chips, assemble them into final products and test
them for performance and quality. The finished chips are then
shipped to customers. In addition to completed wafers, the facility
will also be able to accept individual chips and assemble them into
final products. The facility will be able to accept wafers and
chips from Intel, Intel Foundry Services or other foundries.
The well-paid permanent jobs that the facility creates will
range from engineers and business support functions to factory
operators and equipment technicians. Poland offers a strong
technical talent base and several excellent universities with
strong engineering programs. This strong workforce and talent base
has been critical to Intel’s 30 years of operation in Poland,
including its significant research and development operations in
Gdańsk, the company’s largest R&D facility in Europe with
nearly 4,000 workers.
A Resilient and Sustainable Semiconductor Supply Chain for
Europe
Recent global disruptions show the critical need to build a more
resilient supply chain for semiconductors. Intel supports the
European Union’s goal to reclaim 20 percent of global semiconductor
manufacturing capacity by 2030 and is investing in a global
semiconductor supply chain that is resilient and geographically
balanced. Intel’s investments in Poland and in Europe can act as a
catalyst for further investments by ecosystem companies and for
building and attracting the talent needed to support a thriving
European semiconductor industry.
Intel is committed to sustainability and will adhere to high
environmental standards across its global operations and its
European operations, including at the planned facility near
Wrocław. This facility will be constructed according to green
building principles, minimizing its carbon footprint and the impact
on the environment.
