Press Releases

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) applauded the U.S. Department of Commerce’s signing of a preliminary memorandum of terms with Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) last week to unlock up to $105 million in CHIPS and Science Act funding. The investment will support the expansion and modernization of ADI’s facilities in Chelmsford, Massachusetts as well as in Beaverton, Oregon and Camas, Washington.

“As a supporter of Analog’s application for this significant federal investment, I’m excited to see this industry-leading company expand its footprint here in Chelmsford,” said Congresswoman Trahan. “This CHIPS and Science Act funding will bolster Analog’s ability to package and test their specialized semiconductors that are critical for numerous commercial, scientific, and defense products while also creating new good-paying jobs here in the Merrimack Valley. I’m proud that this critical legislation is once again delivering for American innovators, workers, and consumers by onshoring our supply chains and increasing the production of advanced semiconductors that will bring down costs for working families.”

“Thanks to the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, we are making targeted investments up and down the semiconductor supply chain to revitalize semiconductor manufacturing in the United States and advance U.S. economic and national security,” said former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “The proposed investments we’re announcing today would support projects that will bolster semiconductor and materials production across the country and advance America’s technological leadership on the world stage.”

“ADI is at the forefront of innovation in the expansion of U.S. semiconductor manufacturing,” said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at Analog Devices. “Our focus on enabling innovation at the Intelligent Edge is driving advancements in process technologies that are critical to our global customer base. This investment will help us strengthen our workforce training and community partnerships, as well as expand our efforts to manage our environmental footprint.”

The investment in Massachusetts will support the expansion and modernization of ADI’s packaging and testing facility in Chelmsford, enabling it to increase module production output and expand capacity for commercial, space, and defense applications as well as new commercial phased array antenna and sensor solutions. This funding will create up to an estimated 500 manufacturing and engineering jobs across ADI’s sites while strengthening the company’s partnerships with local universities, community colleges, and other education partners.

The proposed investment announced last week is in addition to the agreement between the U.S. Department of Commerce and MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. to unlock $70 million in funding from the CHIPS and Science Act. Trahan supported passage of the legislation in July 2022 to target root causes of inflation, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen national security.
