The groundbreaking marks a major milestone in the governor’s Nano Utica initiative, which is now projected to create at least 4,000 jobs over the next decade, and includes research and development at the Computer Chip Commercialization Center (QUAD c) in partnership with General Electric.
The wafer fabrication facility will be staffed and operated by AMS AG to support the company’s high performance analog semiconductor operations which have a global marketplace in products ranging from smartphones, tablets and other communications devices, automakers, audio and medical equipment manufacturers and others. AMS sensors are used in hundreds of mill ions of devices to recognize light, color, gestures, images, motion, position, environmental and medical parameters and more.
“Today marks an exciting milestone in the transformation of the local economy,” said Governor Cuomo. “Through the Nano Utica initiative, we’re bringing an unprecedented focus to the Mohawk Valley, and jumpstarting a high-tech manufacturing industry that will create thousands of good-paying jobs in both the immediate and long-term future. This is another sign of how Upstate New York’s best days are ahead, and I look forward to seeing construction move forward.”
