Vicor acquires sites for additional ChiP fabs
Vicor is purchasing a 334,000 square foot building on 66 acres of industrial land in Merrimack, New Hampshire, plus a separate 54-acre site in Hooksett, to support build-out of ChiP Fab-2 and Fab-3 with a combined footprint of nearly one million square feet. Existing ChiP Fab-1 in Andover, Massachusetts -- built out to 320,000 square feet on 16 acres -- is approaching capacity, and Fab-2 carries a one-year lead time to initial deployment. The expansion targets AI hardware demand: leading OEMs and hyperscalers whose computing systems were banned from importation over infringing power suppliers need U.S.
