Edwards completes $319M chip pump facility in New York, backed by CHIPS funding
What happened
Edwards Vacuum completed construction of a $319 million dry-pump manufacturing facility in Genesee County, New York. This 240,000-square-foot campus will produce 10,000 dry pumps annually, which are used to control conditions required for computer chip manufacturing. The project received up to $21 million in state tax credits and $18 million in CHIPS funding, with New York Power Authority providing low-cost hydropower.
