纽约州：Edwards Vacuum投资3.19亿美元的干式真空泵工厂在杰纳西县建成投产，创造多达600个岗位
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔（Kathy Hochul）10月29日宣布，半导体设备厂商Edwards Vacuum投资3.19亿美元建设的干式真空泵工厂已在纽约州杰纳西县阿拉巴马镇（Town of Alabama）的西纽约科学与技术先进制造园区（WNY STAMP）建成完工。
新工厂占地24万平方英尺，预计每年可生产1万台干式真空泵，全面投产后将创造多达600个就业岗位。干式真空泵是半导体芯片制造过程中的关键设备，用于在生产环节维持洁净的真空环境。
工厂采用全电力运行设计，正在申请LEED绿色建筑认证，电力主要来自水力发电。州政府表示，与传统工艺相比，新工厂的工艺每年可减少多达1.3万吨二氧化碳排放。
纽约州经济发展厅（Empire State Development）为该项目提供最高2100万美元支持，包括「精益求精就业计划」（Excelsior Jobs Program）税收抵免和投资税收抵免，另有100万美元劳动力发展资金。纽约电力局（NYPA）为工厂提供4.9兆瓦尼亚加拉水电，并有2.1兆瓦高负荷率电力支持。
霍楚尔表示，这座工厂的建成是纽约州打造半导体产业走廊的重要一步，将把高薪制造业岗位带到纽约州西部地区。
Edwards Vacuum产品公司杰纳西总经理丹·帕普西德罗（Dan Papsidero）表示，新工厂将显著扩大公司在北美的干式真空泵产能。阿特拉斯·科普柯集团（Atlas Copco）半导体事业部总裁马丁·托尔纳（Martin Tollner）也出席了宣布仪式。经济发展厅厅长霍普·奈特（Hope Knight）表示，州政府将继续支持此类先进制造项目落地。
New York: Edwards Vacuum Completes $319 Million Dry Pump Plant in Genesee County, Creating Up to 600 Jobs
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 29 that Edwards Vacuum has completed construction of its $319 million dry vacuum pump manufacturing facility in the Town of Alabama, Genesee County, New York, at the Western New York Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (WNY STAMP).
The 240,000-square-foot plant is expected to produce 10,000 dry pumps per year and create up to 600 jobs at full capacity. Dry vacuum pumps are critical equipment in semiconductor chip manufacturing, maintaining the clean vacuum environments the production process requires.
The all-electric facility is seeking LEED certification and runs mostly on hydropower. The state said the plant's processes will cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 13,000 tons per year compared with conventional approaches.
Empire State Development is providing up to $21 million in support through Excelsior Jobs Program and Investment Tax Credits, plus $1 million in workforce development funding. The New York Power Authority is supplying 4.9 megawatts of Niagara hydropower along with 2.1 megawatts of high-load-factor power.
Hochul said the completed plant is an important step in building New York's semiconductor corridor and bringing well-paying manufacturing jobs to Western New York.
Dan Papsidero, general manager of Edwards Product Company in Genesee, said the new facility will significantly expand the company's North American dry pump capacity. Martin Tollner, president of the Semiconductor Division at Atlas Copco, Edwards Vacuum's parent company, also took part in the announcement, and Empire State Development President and CEO Hope Knight said the state will keep supporting advanced manufacturing projects like this one.
