Samsung to begin construction on second chip factory in Taylor, Texas, ahead of first facility's operation

Samsung is reportedly planning to break ground on its second semiconductor fabrication plant, Taylor Fab 2, in November 2026, with mass production slated for 2030. This expansion, projecting a 2.7 million square foot footprint, demonstrates an aggressive push in its US foundry operations even as its first Taylor facility prepares to begin operations by the end of 2026.
