Micron Technology To Invest In Critical Minerals Under Its $3B Investment Plan

Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today announced an investment in critical minerals processing and high-purity materials manufacturing that is expected to support the expansion of Indium Corporation’s capabilities in Central New York, restarting domestic processing of critical minerals essential to advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The investment is part of Micron’s plan, announced in July, to invest up to $3 billion to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply-chain ecosystem and secure a reliable domestic supply of critical manufacturing materials.

Under the agreement, Micron will provide strategic funding that enables Indium Corporation to expand its refining and manufacturing operations in Rome, New York. The companies will enter into a long-term supply agreement that gives Micron access to these high-purity minerals. The investment is expected to reduce reliance on concentrated global refining capacity, addressing a growing national security priority.
