Edwards Vacuum (New York)
Key Facts
Project Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce awarded Edwards Vacuum up to $18 million in direct funding to support the construction of a greenfield state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Genessee County, New York to produce dry vacuum pumps.
Economic and National Security Impact
The investment will bring specialized dry vacuum pump manufacturing to the United States for the first time and could provide pumps to nearly all fabs built in the United States through the end of the decade and will help ensure a reliable domestic supply of dry vacuum pumps which are needed for semiconductor manufacturing. This is a meaningful step towards strengthening U.S. economic and national security, as currently, there is no domestic production of semiconductor-grade dry vacuum pumps. These pumps are essential for both advanced and legacy fabrication.
