SK hynix Builds in Indiana: HBM Supply Chain Shifts to Selective Localization
pstAsiatech · x · 2026-08-31
SK hynix broke ground on a $4 billion advanced packaging facility in Indiana, targeting mass production in H2 2029. However, this is not a full reshoring; cutting-edge wafers will remain in Korea, with shipping to the U.S. only for final packaging and testing. This highlights a shift in the AI semiconductor supply chain toward selective localization of strategic steps, positioning advanced packaging at the center of the strategy.
