TTM Marks Official Opening of $130 Million Manufacturing Facility in Dewitt

Company Will Produce State-of-the-Art Printed Circuit Boards To Enhance National Security, Creating Up To 400 Good-Paying Jobs in Central New York

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of TTM Technologies, Inc.’s new manufacturing facility located in Central New York. A leading global manufacturer of technology solutions, the company’s new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is co-located on approximately 23 acres adjacent to TTM’s existing production facility in the Town of DeWitt, Onondaga County. TTM is investing up to $130 million for the new facility and creating an additional 400 good-paying jobs, bringing the company's Central New York workforce to 1,000. TTM will produce Ultra-High-Density Interconnect (UHDI) Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that will primarily be used for U.S. defense applications. TTM will also invest in research and development to further integrate substrate and UHDI PCB technologies nationwide. The new facility is one of the first in the nation to specialize in manufacturing UHDI PCBs and advanced packaging.

“TTM’s continued investment in Central New York proves that New York State is a premier destination for growing companies that are ready to support the next generation through job opportunities,” Governor Hochul said. “This top-tier project will create good-paying manufacturing jobs in Central New York. I am grateful to TTM for advancing this project which will strengthen both our economy and our national security.”

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Under Governor Hochul's leadership, New York State continues to establish itself as a leader in the semiconductor industry and the broader advanced manufacturing ecosystem. TTM’s continued investment in Central New York represents the importance and success of these efforts and further positions the state as a global hub for next generation businesses and technologies.”

TTM Technologies Executive Vice President and President of Aerospace and Defense Cathie Gridley said, "This is more than a facility — it is a statement about where American defense manufacturing is headed. Our defense customers need trusted, domestic, ultra-high-density interconnect production capability that meets the most demanding program requirements in the world. Today, we bring that capability to the United States. This investment strengthens the U.S. microelectronics supply chain, deepens our commitment to Central New York, and positions TTM to support the next generation of defense and national security technologies for decades to come."

CenterState CEO Chief Executive Officer Robert Simpson said, "Central New York is in a really good place as we celebrate yet another success for our region's microelectronics sector. We have the assets, talent and team needed to help companies succeed. TTM's expansion is a testament to the strength of this region and the partnerships that make investments like this possible. We were proud to support this project, which further strengthens Central New York's position as a leader in advanced manufacturing."

Maintaining a presence in the Syracuse area for more than 60 years, TTM Technologies, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of technology solutions, including mission systems, radio frequency (“RF”) components, RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and quick-turn and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (“PCB”s).

TTM selected Syracuse for its significant expansion and investment after a competitive site selection process that involved 16 states. Leading up to the state's investment, CenterState CEO worked with TTM’s executives and consultants to make a strong case for their project to be located in Central New York. CenterState  partnered closely with Empire State Development, Senator Schumer’s office and Onondaga County on the successful attraction effort.

The Syracuse facility directly addresses a critical gap in the U.S. defense industrial base. Ultra-HDI PCBs — which enable unprecedented miniaturization and performance density in advanced electronics — are essential to next-generation defense platforms, including radar systems, missile defense architectures, space-based sensors, and autonomous systems. These circuit boards are a vital component of the microelectronics industry, supporting the growth of the domestic semiconductor industry that is being driven statewide by Governor Hochul and nationally by the Federal CHIPS & Science Act.

To support the construction of TTM's facility, New York State, Empire State Development (ESD), will provide up to $17 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Tax Credits in exchange for the creation of 400 new jobs and the retention of more than 600 existing jobs in New York. Additionally, ESD awarded TTM a $5 million capital grant from the Upstate Revitalization Initiative for reimbursement for machinery and equipment. The company will also receive a $30 million grant from the Department of Defense for the expansion. The total project cost has been placed at up to $130 million.
