# GlobalFoundries Breaks Ground on Malta Fab

GlobalFoundries broke ground on November 13, 2026, on a $10 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility at the Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta, New York. The fab is part of a $12.3 billion New York expansion, supported by $570 million in state performance-based tax credits and grants, and connected to a broader U.S.-Japan initiative that could reach $21 billion. The announcement does not include a solicitation or procurement contact, but the scale and scope of the project point to potential demand across facility construction, semiconductor equipment, infrastructure, workforce development, and supplier onboarding.

- The new fab is a major component of GlobalFoundries’ New York expansion; the broader program also includes upgrades to existing facilities and an Advanced Packaging and Photonics Center.
- Construction firms, equipment suppliers, infrastructure providers, and workforce-development organizations may find opportunities as the project advances, though no specific procurement has been announced.
- New York’s $570 million in performance-based support ties public funding to the project; prospective suppliers can use the announced project scope to assess relevant capabilities and local supplier opportunities.
