Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) announced on September 11, 2026, that it has acquired two New Hampshire parcels to host its next-generation ChiP power module semiconductor fabrication facilities.
What the corporate disclosure shows
According to Vicor's official Investor Relations press release, the company acquired:
- A 334,000 square-foot building on 66 acres in Merrimack, New Hampshire, designated to become Fab-2
- 54 acres in Hooksett, New Hampshire, designated to become Fab-3
Together, the two sites are planned to accommodate a combined manufacturing footprint of nearly one million square feet, representing a substantial scale-up from Vicor's existing Fab-1 — a 320,000 square-foot facility on 16 acres in Andover, Massachusetts.
Background
Vicor specialises in ChiP (Converter housed in Package) power modules, which are used in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence data centres, defence electronics, and advanced transportation systems. The company has positioned itself as a domestic US manufacturer in a sector where supply chain resilience has become a strategic priority.
Why it matters
The acquisition more than triples Vicor's potential domestic fabrication footprint without relying on overseas foundries. The expansion strengthens New Hampshire's industrial base in high-technology manufacturing and positions Vicor to meet growing demand for power-management chips — particularly as AI data-centre power requirements scale significantly. For investors and customers, the added capacity aims to improve product lead times and reduce sourcing risk in a market where US semiconductor output has become a national strategic priority.
