HyRel Technologies, a global provider of quick turn semiconductor modification solutions, will establish operations in Peoria, Arizona. The $15 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

The 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility will be geared towards touchless robotic processing systems for microelectronic components, semiconductors, tape and reel, component recovery, and NPI/contract manufacturing services, according to state officials.

“Since my co-founder Scott Baker and I launched HyRel Technologies, it has always been the end goal to move to Arizona, no other state has such a commitment to building a thriving and resilient national semiconductor industry,” said Brian Watson, Founder of HyRel Technologies. “From the Arizona Commerce Authority’s ‘first-of-its-kind’ National Semiconductor Economic Roadmap plan and dedicated investments to the industry, to the white glove service we’ve received from the City of Peoria in helping find our facility, we are very excited to launch this chapter and draw upon the wealth of expertise in the West Valley area.”

HyRel provides services to aerospace, defense, medical, industrial, commercial and OEM. The company is also focused on industry-leading tin-mitigation processes, utilizing their unique microrobotic systems.

“We are proud to welcome HyRel Technologies’ new manufacturing facility to Peoria,” noted Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). “HyRel’s high-tech facility highlights Arizona’s attractiveness for emerging technologies while diversifying the state’s ever-growing semiconductor industry.”
