Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today hosted U.S. Secretary
of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Congressional and local officials for
a tour of its Manassas, Va., advanced
manufacturing facility. The visit underscored the importance
of domestic semiconductor manufacturers, and highlighted Micron’s
position in the industry as the only manufacturer
of memory and storage products in the U.S. Secretary
Raimondo was joined by U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Mark R.
Warner (D-VA) along with Manassas Mayor Michelle
Davis-Younger.
In a joint press conference, Secretary Raimondo, Senator
Cornyn and Senator Warner 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. 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 are the foundation on which
the modern economy is built, and the applications they enable
have kept America on the leading edge of technology innovation.
As the only U.S. company that develops, manufactures, and
sells leading-edge memory and storage products, we are
energized to see the growing momentum to promote domestic
semiconductor investments. The CHIPS for America Act aims to
incentivize more manufacturing, R&D and innovation here in
the U.S., and we look forward to continuing to work with Congress
to see it across the finish line.”
