Intel is planning to invest more than $20 billion in the construction of two new leading-edge chip factories in Ohio to boost production to meet demand for advanced semiconductors, power a new generation of innovative products from Intel, and serve the needs of foundry customers. 

Spanning nearly 1,000 acres in Licking County, just outside of Columbus, the “mega-site” can accommodate a total of eight chip factories as well as supporting operations and ecosystem partners.

Intel depends on a multifaceted ecosystem of suppliers who support our business, and we are proud of the strong relationships built past, present and future. We are working together to ensure that the goods and services provided by our suppliers meet the highest ethical standards and align to our core values: Customer First, Quality, Fearless Innovation, Diversity and Inclusion.

ITU AbsorbTech strives to cultivate a workplace where employees feel safe and rewarded. As a core business tenet, safety is part of the company's culture, training, and ongoing mission to achieve zero incidents.

“This is cherished by us not just in Wisconsin for our Wisconsin Operations,” says Jim Leef, President, and CEO at ITU AbsorbTech. “We had fabulous years in all our facilities, so this is a companywide honor."  

ITU AbsorbTech promotes a culture of safety through activities like vehicle safety checks, morning stretches, monthly AbsorbU training, 6S events, and annual safety promotion. These efforts, combined with a commitment from every employee to be safe every day, have helped the company achieve another exceptional safety record last year.
