Primary Industries in Albany
Albany’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.
Semiconductor
Albany is the epicenter of US semiconductor R&D. SUNY Polytechnic Institute's Albany NanoTech Complex hosts the $15B CHIPS Act research facility, and GlobalFoundries operates Fab 8 — the most advanced US-owned logic fab — just north in Malta. The region's machining demand for chamber components, wafer handling parts, and equipment fixtures is enormous.
