Description:
Intel officially opened Fab 24 in Leixlip, Ireland, the first Intel facility outside of the U.S to manufacture products using 300mm wafers.
Intel Ireland’s Leixlip campus, located in County Kildare, began operations in 1989. Since then, Intel has invested more than €30 billion in turning the 360-acre former stud farm into one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing locations in Europe. This facility is the largest private investment ever made in the history of the Irish State. Today, more than 4,500 people work at the campus in Leixlip.
The Leixlip campus is home to a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility, which in recent years, has undergone an upgrade project that has enabled the site to be a key location for production of Intel’s 14nm process technology. The leading-edge silicon microprocessors that are manufactured in Ireland are at the heart of a variety of platforms and technology advancements that are essential to the way we learn, live, and work today.
