Ground broken at KPPC facility

KPPC, a Kanto Group company, has broken ground on its new US Arizona Plant (UAP) at the Sonoran Valley Industrial Park in Casa Grande, Arizona. This is a next-generation ultra-pure chemical manufacturing campus that will support chip manufacturing in one of the US’s major regions for this industry.

The initial Phase I investment of over $120 million will create some 80 permanent jobs, with a further 120 expected later. It will make ultra-pure and proprietary functional chemicals for semiconductor fabrication, wafer cleaning, etching, CMP, photolithography and advanced packaging to chip makers across the US, such as TSMC, Intel and Micron. 

Production is expected to begin in late 2027. KPPC expects the site to grow into a full semiconductor chemical campus, with total investment projected to reach around $500 million by 2035.
