SK hynix announced in a press release that it held a groundbreaking ceremony for an advanced packaging facility for AI memory in West Lafayette, Indiana, on Aug. 27. The facility will be the company's first U.S. production hub for High Bandwidth Memory, with total expected investment of over $4 billion.

The site is scheduled to open its cleanroom by October 2028 and begin mass production of next generation HBM in the second half of 2029. SK hynix expects the site to employ about 1,000 people during commercial operations.
