KoMiCo, a global leader in precision cleaning and advanced coatings for the semiconductor industry, celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art facility for cleaning, coating, and repair of advanced semiconductor equipment parts in Mesa, Arizona, on January 12, 2026. The facility represents an over USD 60 million capital investment and will initially create 50 jobs, with over 200 total new jobs created over the following years.

KoMiCo America and Global executives were joined by local government, economic development, business, and community leaders, as well as KoMiCo customers, to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the new facility. Attendees included City of Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman and representatives from the Arizona Commerce Authority.

Facility Specifications and Investment

The 125,000-square-foot facility includes multiple cleanrooms, a wide range of cutting-edge equipment, and a robust suite of diagnostic tools. The Mesa facility marks KoMiCo's third location in the U.S. and 10th location globally. The facility will be outfitted to serve current fabs and future fabs, including EUV and <1 nm tech nodes.

KoMiCo employs a myriad of processes, each stringently controlled to meet or exceed customer specifications. The company utilizes high-performance metrology equipment and particle measurement systems in clean-room environments to ensure cleaned parts are free of any impactful contamination. Their expertise in processing parts with fast turnaround times significantly reduces the downtime of fab tools.

Executive Statements

“KoMiCo's expansion into Arizona reflects both the growth of our business and our belief in the region's talent and technology ecosystem,” said James Jin, CEO of KoMiCo America. “It also allows us to be closer to our customers, respond faster to their needs, and provide the level of support required in today's demanding semiconductor manufacturing environment. We're proud to create new jobs, invest in local capabilities, and build a foundation that supports U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and our employees for years to come.”

Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, stated, “KoMiCo's new Mesa facility marks a significant addition to Arizona's rapidly expanding semiconductor supply chain. With its advanced precision‑cleaning and coating capabilities and more than 200 new skilled jobs, this facility highlights why Arizona has become the premier destination in the U.S. for semiconductor investment.”

Christine Mackay, President and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, commented, “The strength of Greater Phoenix's semiconductor ecosystem rests on its supply chain, and the opening of KoMiCo's facility allows for more efficiencies and partnerships in the production process. Mesa's growth as an advantageous operating market is helping accelerate continued development of the company, region, and industry.”

Local Government Response

Mayor Mark Freeman expressed support for the development, stating, “Mesa is rapidly becoming a premier destination for semiconductor investment thanks to our highly skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and supportive business environment. KoMiCo's commitment to our City affirms our strategic standing in this industry. We're honored to welcome KoMiCo to Mesa and to see southeast Mesa advance as a hub for manufacturing and innovation.”

Mesa Vice Mayor Scott Somers added, “KoMiCo's new facility is a big win for Mesa and another sign that southeast Mesa is becoming a key part of the semiconductor industry. This investment brings specialized capabilities to clean, coat, and repair critical equipment parts, and it will help support the high-tech growth we're seeing across the region. KoMiCo plans to grow from 50 jobs to more than 200 in the years ahead, exactly the kind of high-skill opportunity we want for Mesa residents.”
