Semiconductor supplier picks Peoria for manufacturing plant
HyRel Technologies, a semiconductor modification and contract manufacturing company, announced Wednesday it began operations at its Peoria plant that spurred creation of 50 new jobs.
HyRel is leveraging its micro-robotic systems to modify microelectronic components and semiconductors for companies from the 20,000-square-foot plant at 7820 W. Golden Lane. The company is also providing component recovery and contract manufacturing services at the facility.
HyRel co-founders Scott Baker and Brian Watson said in a statement that the company chose to relocate from Torrance, California to the Valley because of its thriving semiconductor industry.
“From the Arizona Commerce Authority’s ‘first-of-its-kind’ National Semiconductor Economic Roadmap and dedicated investments to the industry, to the white glove service we’ve received from the city of Peoria in helping find our facility, we are very excited to launch this chapter and draw upon the wealth of expertise in the West Valley area,” Watson said in a statement.
HyRel provides services to the aerospace, defense, medical, industrial and commercial industries.
