The Edwards Vacuum facility in Alabama, Genesee County, is nearing completion and is scheduled to begin operations by April 1. The $300 million factory will produce dry-pump vacuum technology essential for semiconductor manufacturing, supporting companies like Micron, which is constructing a new campus in Clay for semiconductor production.

The project is expected to create over 300 jobs and has significantly increased the assessed value of the town of Alabama, effectively doubling it. This facility will be the first in the U.S. dedicated to manufacturing dry-pump vacuum parts.
