How Foresight Technologies Supports High-Purity Fab Construction with Scalable Services, Proven Expertise and Chemical Process Equipment Solutions

Semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs), manufacturing facilities where microchips are produced, are among the most demanding construction projects today, requiring not only precision and scale but also a deep understanding of high-purity infrastructure.

Globally, semiconductor companies plan to invest about $1 trillion in new fabs by 2030, according to McKinsey. By 2030, the United States is expected to achieve 22% of global advanced semiconductor capacity, as TSMC and other companies expand into the Southwest, according to TrendForce. As these projects grow in complexity and urgency, so does the need for partners who thoroughly understand the environment.

At Foresight Technologies, we specialize in high-purity equipment manufacturing, producing components and systems designed to handle ultra-pure wet chemistries, ensuring contamination levels are maintained below our customer specifications. Demand for this expertise has naturally evolved into on-site fab services. With decades of experience and teams dedicated to the details that matter—from plastic welding and fluid systems to tool hookup and containment—we support factory builds with the practical knowledge and capabilities these environments demand.

Fab Construction Services Built on Experience

As semiconductor manufacturers ramp up fab construction to meet global chip demand, the need for high-purity systems and the capacity to produce them at scale has never been greater. According to SEMI’s World Fab Forecast, the industry is poised to break ground on 18 new fab construction projects in 2025 alone. Behind every one of these fabs is a need for precision-built equipment, reliable chemical-handling infrastructure and teams that know how to meet strict purity and safety standards.

Foresight On-Site, our licensed subcontractor division, leverages our decades of high-purity manufacturing experience by bringing it directly to fab construction and tool installation projects. Our teams support everything from high-purity plumbing and containment structures to tool hookup and the installation of chemical delivery systems. Whether we’re working directly with a fab, general contractor or design firm, we integrate seamlessly into the build process.

Unlike traditional subcontractors, we specialize exclusively in high-purity wet chemical systems. From acids and bases to deionized water (DI), we install the infrastructure used to distribute these chemicals through your facility. This laser focus allows us to add value from day one, delivering superior results through a combination of scale, expertise and precision.

Industry-Leading Manufacturing Capabilities

Foresight Technologies is uniquely positioned to support the surge in fab construction projects and global semiconductor chip demand with a fully integrated manufacturing model. Our 350,000 square feet of production space in the United States and Malaysia is designed specifically for high-purity equipment fabrication. This global footprint enables us to meet the volume, complexity and speed required for today’s largest builds without relying on fragmented supply chains or inconsistent contractors.

Our facilities operate advanced CNC machining and plastic fabrication equipment, producing chemical systems, plumbing assemblies and containment components at a pace few can match. We manufacture over 1,000 chemical systems annually, tested and ready for installation at the world’s top fabs. Because we control every step, from machining to certified plastic welding, we maintain strict process repeatability and reliability throughout.

Let’s Work Together

As the semiconductor industry scales up, we’re scaling with it. Foresight delivers not only the equipment, but also the infrastructure, experience and the vision needed to keep fabs moving forward faster, cleaner and with fewer tradeoffs.
Whether you’re breaking ground on a new facility or scaling up an existing one, we’d love to talk about how we can support your high-purity construction needs.
