GlobalFoundries opens $5b expansion fabrication plant in SG

The plant’s opening will create 1,000 new jobs.

GlobalFoundries has opened its 23,000 square metres expansion fabrication plant (fab) in Singapore.

In an announcement, the manufacturing company said its $5b-facility will create 1,000 high-value jobs in Singapore, and of which, 95% will include equipment technicians, process technicians and engineers.

Apart from the creation of new jobs, GlobalFoundries said its new facility will boost its “global manufacturing footprint and reinforce its ability to deliver product security and flexibility to customers across its manufacturing sites in three continents.”

“As Singapore’s most advanced semiconductor facility to date, the expansion fab will produce an additional 450,000 wafers (300mm) annually, raising GF Singapore’s overall capacity to approximately 1.5 million wafers (300mm) each year,” said the company.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
