SK Hynix Breaks Ground on Indiana HBM Packaging Plant
SK Hynix held a groundbreaking ceremony on August 27, 2026 for its first U.S. facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. The $4 billion site will focus on advanced memory packaging—stacking and connecting chips produced overseas—with the first cleanroom slated to open in October 2028. CEO Kwak Noh-Jung said the plant will make Indiana a key U.S. high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production base by 2030. SK Hynix expects its U.S. investments and assets to exceed $45 billion by 2030 and is receiving federal CHIPS Act funds and state incentives to support the project. The company also has broader global expansion plans, including a large buildout in South Korea and co-development commitments with Nvidia.
SK Hynix’s $720B AI Memory Buildout in South Korea
SK Hynix is investing $720 billion to build what it says will be the world’s largest network of memory factories, driven by rising AI demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM). The company, now with a market capitalization above $1 trillion, raised $26.5 billion in July through a Nasdaq listing to help fund the expansion. SK Hynix controls a majority share of the HBM market and has signed long-term supply agreements with major customers, including collaboration with Nvidia. The buildout includes multiple new fabs in South Korea and a $4 billion packaging facility planned in Indiana; export controls limit sales of SK Hynix’s leading HBM products in China.
