Samsung Electronics: Preparing to Break Ground on Taylor Line 2 by End of Year, Aiming for Mass Production in 2030

Samsung Electronics has revealed its target to begin construction on its second plant in Taylor, Texas, by the end of this year.

During an earnings conference call today (the 30th), Samsung Electronics addressed its plans to expand the Taylor fabs, stating, "Currently, the pace of advanced capacity expansion is falling short of demand." The company added, "We are preparing to break ground on Taylor Fab 2 by the end of this year, aiming for mass production in 2030."

It also noted that preparations for the operation of Taylor Fab 1 are proceeding as planned for 2026, after which advanced 2-nanometer capacity will be expanded in phases.

Samsung Electronics further explained, "In response to increasing customer inquiries regarding the 1.4-nanometer process, we are also considering securing additional fabs." The company added, "Detailed plans will be materialized step by step based on customer order status and consultation results."

Mature processes are being transitioned to high-yield 3-stack processes, with Samsung stating that it is pursuing an operational strategy focused on high-value-added specialty demand with high technological barriers.
