MANOR, Texas — A South Korean company that helps supply Samsung will be building a new $46 million facility in Manor, according to a report from the Austin Business Journal (ABJ).
Plans show the facility will be built on a 24-acre plot along Old Kimbro Road, south of U.S. 290, that Wonik Materials Co. purchased from the city earlier this year.
According to the ABJ, the company has three phases planned for the site, which will include distribution, quality control and production capabilities.
Wonik manufactures specialty gases and chemicals used by the semiconductor industry. Its clients include Samsung, NXP Semiconductors NV, Infineon Technologies AG and Texas Instruments Inc.
The company signed a joint letter of support with the city of Manor earlier this month, the ABJ reports. Korean company BuildBlock Inc. will be coordinating infrastructure for the project.
