Sealsq announces planned establishment of semiconductor manufacturing facility

Sealsq (LAES) reaffirmed its commitment in strengthening its footprint in the U.S. via the planned establishment of a semiconductor manufacturing facility, through the expansion of Sealsq USA. This initiative is expected to be a step in reinforcing the U.S. semiconductor supply chain by enabling the domestic production of post-quantum microchips. Sealsq USA’s expansion includes the planned establishment of a dedicated Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test center, a move aiming to enhance the country’s semiconductor self-sufficiency. This OSAT facility is intended to deliver comprehensive semiconductor packaging, testing, and final assembly services. Sealsq intends to strategically position its U.S. operations in Arizona and New York, two key regions driving semiconductor innovation. Sealsq has already incorporated Sealsq USA in the state of Arizona with the intent of using this entity to house its OSAT and manufacturing operations. Sealsq’s U.S. expansion aligns with overall efforts to onshore semiconductor production and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
