Teledyne MEMS is expanding its manufacturing operations in Edmonton with support from the Government of Alberta, reinforcing the province’s growing role in the global semiconductor supply chain and creating new, high-skill jobs. The investment is backed by a CA$620,000 grant from the province’s Investment and Growth Fund, aimed at attracting high-impact private sector investment and driving economic growth.
The expansion will enhance Teledyne MEMS’ advanced manufacturing capabilities and help meet rising global demand for micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and microfabricated semiconductor devices. From its Edmonton facility, Teledyne MEMS serves diverse markets including optical MEMS, biomedical MEMS, inertial and industrial sensing, with applications in telecommunications and miniaturized medical systems, among others. It will also strengthen Alberta’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem and contribute directly to the local economy.
“As a global and trusted leader in MEMS technology, Teledyne MEMS is committed to growing our presence in Alberta and investing in its talent and innovation ecosystem,” said Steve Bonham, Plant Manager at Teledyne MEMS. “Our expansion in Edmonton reflects confidence in the region and will create high-value jobs and long-term economic opportunities. We thank the Government of Alberta and Edmonton Global for their continued support.”
The expansion, which includes new wafer processing, inspection, and automation equipment alongside facility upgrades, reaffirms Teledyne’s long-term commitment to Alberta and its position in the global semiconductor value chain.
“Alberta is open for business, and investments like this show why companies choose to grow here. Through the Investment and Growth Fund, we are helping close the deal on high-impact projects that create jobs, grow our economy and strengthen Alberta’s advanced manufacturing sector,” said Joseph Schow, Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration.
