Gov. Kemp: SK Group to Locate First of its Kind Glass-based Semiconductor-part Venture in Covington
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced SK Group subsidiary company, SKC, and several business partners will manufacture glass-based substrates for semiconductor chips in Covington, Georgia. The company will invest more than $473 million in this unprecedented venture and will create more than 400 new jobs in Newton County.
"This announcement is a prime example of Georgia being at the forefront of addressing one of our nation's most pressing supply chain roadblocks, which has affected so many U.S. manufacturers," said Governor Brian Kemp. "This decision by SKC speaks not only to the success they have found since first locating in Georgia, but also to the shared commitment we have in creating bold, innovative solutions right here in our state. Georgia's workforce is trained, skilled, and ready to excel in the jobs of the future."
A ceremonial Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the State of Georgia and SKC solidifying the project and location. After various related work in multiple countries, Dr. Sung Jin Kim, SKC Director of New Business Development, served as a research professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the Georgia Institute of Technology from 2012-2015. Professor Kim helped develop this glass substrate technology through research conducted at Georgia Tech Packaging Research Center by working with the Center Team and global semiconductor supply chain companies.
Founded in 1976 as a specialty material company, SKC has consistently expanded its businesses areas through continuous innovation. The company established itself in Newton County, Georgia, in 1996. Since that time, the facility has become one of the major Polyester films (PET film) producers in North America, providing high-quality, environmentally friendly service as a base-film market leader. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility also pivoted manufacturing to produce face shields and other PPE safety products.
