Intel is investing 12 billion euro in its plant in Leixlip as part of its European strategy.

On the same former stud farm site that Intel selected for its first European manufacturing base in the late 1980s, It is completing construction of the latest manufacturing expansion – Fab 34.
In March last year it confirmed that €5 billion was invested in its construction between 2019 and 2021.
Today its CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that a further €12 billion will be invested in Fab 34 between now and the end of 2023.
This brings the total investment in Fab 34 to €17 billion and total investment in Ireland to more than €30 billion.

The new facility will also add 1,600 new Intel roles at Leixlip, bringing its total direct employment in Ireland to more than 6,500 people.
