Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today hosted U.S. government
officials for a tour of its Manassas, VA, advanced
manufacturing facility. The visit underscored the importance
of Micron’s position in the industry as the only manufacturer
of memory and storage products in the U.S. In
attendance were Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo,
Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Mark Warner (D-VA) along with
Manassas Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger.
In a joint press conference, Secretary Raimondo and
congressional and local leaders highlighted
the importance of federal support for the
U.S. semiconductor industry, a vital component of the U.S. economy
that underpins advancements in critical infrastructure, broadband
and The American Jobs plan. Micron President and CEO,
Sanjay Mehrotra, noted the company’s expanding footprint
in Manassas and expressed gratitude for the U.S. Government’s
efforts to further promote innovation and strengthen the domestic
semiconductor industry.
“Over the last year, there has been an increased focus on the
importance of semiconductors – here in the U.S. and around the
world,” said Mehrotra. “Semiconductors form the backbone of
everything in our economy, and the applications they enable
have kept America moving during the pandemic. As the only U.S.
company that develops, manufactures, and sells leading-edge memory
and storage products, we are energized to see the call for
critical investments to be made to update America’s infrastructure
and promote semiconductor leadership and innovation. The CHIPS for
America Act is a piece of federal legislation that serves as
a great start to incentivize more manufacturing, R&D
and innovation here in the U.S., and we look forward to seeing it
get across the finish line.”
