2023-06-19

Micron Technology announced today that it plans to invest more than 4.3 billion yuan in its packaging and testing plant in Xi'an, China, in the next few years.

The investment plan includes the company's decision to acquire the packaging equipment of Licheng Semiconductor (Xi'an) Co., Ltd. (Licheng Xi'an), as well as plans to build a new factory in Meiguang Xi'an and introduce new and high-performance packaging and testing equipment to better meet the needs of Chinese customers.

Micron Technology said: "This investment adheres to the concept of Meguiar's global packaging and testing, and will enhance the flexibility of the company's manufacturing of multiple product portfolios in Xi'an, so that Meguiar can directly operate its packaging and testing business in the Xi'an factory." The new factory announced this time will introduce new production lines for manufacturing mobile DRAM, NAND and SSD products, to strengthen the existing packaging and testing capabilities of the Xi'an factory. Meiguang has been preparing for this project for some time and has initiated qualification certification for the production of mobile DRAM in Xi'an.

According to the long-term strategic agreement reached earlier, Licheng Xi'an's equipment has been operating in Meiguang's wholly-owned factory since 2016. The agreement has currently expired. Meiguang expects this acquisition project to be completed within approximately one year and requires approval from Chinese regulatory authorities.

Meiguang will provide new employment contracts to all 1200 employees in Licheng Xi'an. The new investment project will also add an additional 500 job opportunities, bringing the total number of Meiguang employees in China to over 4500.
