Farmers Branch is receiving a major boost in its push to become a hub for advanced manufacturing. The State of Texas awarded FormFactor Inc. a $24.2 million grant through the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) to support the company’s new advanced manufacturing facility in Farmers Branch.
The investment is expected to help accelerate production while creating more than 600 high-skilled jobs and generating between $140 million and $170 million in capital investment during 2026.
The grant represents one of the latest investments under Texas’ strategy to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on overseas production.
