Taiwanese chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM) is pushing into overseas manufacturing, eyeing Japan as a suitable production base following its struggle to recruit workers for its Arizona facility. The company’s $8.6 billion under-construction Japanese hub is expected to start production in 2024.
Although the company is in talks with the Arizona government to attract more investment and address some challenges the company has faced in the state, the Arizona hub is anticipated to be delayed until 2025 due to a lack of specialty workers.
