South Korea-based KoMiCo, a company that provides precision cleaning and special coating in the semiconductor industry, plans to establish operations in Mesa, Arizona. The more than $50 million project is expected to create 200 jobs.

The new 125,000-square-foot facility, located on a 12.5 acre site, will offer services to current fabs and the fabs of the future, including EUV and <1nm tech nodes. Operations are scheduled to begin by 2026.
