MGC Pure Chemicals America, a consolidated subsidiary of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc., plans to expand its operations in Killeen, Texas.

This more than $150 million project will include an additional 130,000 square feet of production space at the company’s existing manufacturing facility.

“MGC Pure Chemicals America, Inc., nearly 30 years in the USA, is honored to receive a $5.3 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund,” said MPCA General Manager Lee Bauer. “These funds will advance the expansion of our existing plant in Killeen. MPCA is committed to accelerating the growth of Central Texas as a semiconductor production cluster and strengthen the overall stability and continuity of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. MPCA will continue our endeavor to be a vital member of the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.”

The project is being supported by a Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund grant of $5.3 million.

“Texas invests in critical supply chain resilience to ensure the semiconductor chips we rely on to drive innovation and fuel our economy are made in Texas,” noted Governor Abbott. “MPCA’s $150 million expansion of their production facility in Killeen will help meet the growing demand for specialty chemicals that are essential for the manufacturing of high-quality semiconductor chips. Working with industry leaders, Texas will continue to lead America’s resurgence in semiconductor manufacturing.”

MGC Pure Chemicals America produces a variety of chemicals and materials, including super pure hydrogen peroxide and ammonium hydroxide used as cleaning agents to remove micro-dust particles and organic matter from semiconductor chips.
