Samsung E & C America, Inc. (“SECAI”) is the lead general contractor for the Taylor Texas plant.
The original Samsung Austin Semiconductor factory has been in operation for 27 years. Taylor will make chips using Samsung’s new 4 nm designs.

***Additional investments recently announced April 15th, 2024.

More than a factory, Samsung is building a cluster of capabilities.

The Taylor site is a $17 billion investment, part of more than $47 billion the company has invested in the U.S. since arriving here in 1978. Over the planned project duration, the company could potentially build multiple labs here as a secondary cluster to their Austin site. Construction was going on in parallel on an array of supporting buildings for chemical and gas supplies, a utility building, an office building, the manufacturing facility, and a parking garage. In addition, there is also a massive “back house” infrastructure going in, including bulk gas facilities, a water reclamation facility, and an electrical substation.

Samsung's cluster in Taylor, just northeast of Austin, would include two factories that would make four, and newly announced, two nanometer chips. Also, there would be a factory dedicated to research and development, as well as a facility for the packaging that surrounds chip components.

The first factory is expected to be operational in 2026, with the second being operational in 2027.

***The 1200-acre Taylor site is almost twice as large as Samsung’s flagship Pyeongtaek Campus in South Korea. And the vision for this site is to be vertically integrated and self-reliant as much as possible, much as they are in Korea.
