Samsung Electronics plans to produce advanced system semiconductors used in fields such as 5G, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence (AI) at the foundry (semiconductor contract manufacturing) factory under construction in Taylor. The site covers approximately 5 million square meters (1.5 million pyeong) and is being built with the goal of completion within this year and operation starting in the second half of next year.

President Kyung said, "The AI boom continues," and "Development to enhance value at various stages including chips, packages, systems, and solutions is in full progress." He added, "As a parts supplier, while doing our best to meet customer demands even a little more, it is time to seriously consider what more we need to do in the AI arena for future value creation and acquisition."

President Kyung frequently visits the Taylor factory construction site to check on progress. In July last year, he visited the site and planted a birch tree as a commemorative tree, and on this day posted on Instagram, "Thankful that it has taken root and is growing well," along with photos. In January this year, after attending CES 2023, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA, he went to the Taylor factory and said, "The construction in Taylor City is progressing smoothly."
