- TSMC begins to work in its third semiconductor manufacturing installation
- The acquisition and the easiest permit rates influenced the movement, says the United States Secretary of Commerce
- TSMC’s quarterly revenues increased 41.6%, but is still attentive to the concerns induced by the rate
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has begun the construction of a third chips plant in Arizona according to Post in the morning of southern China Reports, as the company continues to expand operations in the US.
The announcement coincided with the visit of the Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to the site, highlighting the political importance of USMC American investment in the midst of the current commercial war.
Promoted by Trump’s impulse for national manufacturing, backed by strong tariffs on imports from certain countries, the project marks the greatest foreign investment in the history of the United States.
TSMC invests in more US chips manufacturing.
Although TSMC flies under the radar among consumers, the Taiwanese company is a key supplier for Apple and Nvidia. Domestic manufacturing within the USA. It helps companies that depend on TSMC to keep costs in the midst of fears that rates may affect sales.
In March 2025, the company announced plans to invest $ 100 billion in the US semiconductor manufacturing industry in the next four years, which adds to its existing investment of $ 65 billion in Arizona.
Talk with CNBCLutnick criticized the slow permissions and regulation processes that companies previously hindered the efforts of companies to move to the United States. “And what you saw today is that they needed a couple of permits. We obtained those super fast permits. And here we are going. They are building it. So that is the idea,” Lutnick said.
Reiterating that TSMC plans mark the “largest foreign investment ever made in the United States of America,” Lutnick emphasized that manufacturing domestication acts in the name of national security.
In addition to the next efforts, the CEO of TSMC, CC Wei, confirmed in the call of quarterly profits this month that its second plant is already increasing operations. Its first floor has also entered high volume production, with a performance that coincides with those of Taiwan.
TSMC confirmed earlier this month that its first quarter revenues increased 41.6%. CFO Wendell Huang added: “While we have not seen any change in the behavior of our clients so far, there are uncertainties and risks of the potential impact of tariff policies.”
