For more than 50 years, Intel has been innovating, investing and supporting global semiconductor manufacturing and R&D that propel our digital age.

2023 was no exception as Intel teams across the globe installed new tools, delivered new clean rooms and completed construction of new buildings.

Consider these mind-boggling facts: In 2023, about 145,000 tons of steel was used to construct and expand these new facilities. Throughout last year, construction teams also poured more than 2 million cubic yards of concrete across all of Intel's projects – enough concrete to build New York's Empire State Building 32 times over.

"Intel's global manufacturing network is foundational to our operational success as we build a resilient, trusted and sustainable supply chain for the entire industry," said Keyvan Esfarjani, executive vice president and chief global operations officer at Intel. "We must continue to invest in the future and plan for success to support the expected increase in long-term semiconductor demand around the world."

Here's a recap of Intel's 10 largest building projects worldwide – in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Ireland, Israel, Magdeburg, Penang and Kulim in Malaysia, and Poland – and what to expect from these construction sites in 2024.
