Vicor announced the acquisition of two sites in New Hampshire to build two new chip manufacturing facilities, a major capacity expansion that signals confidence in long-term demand for its power modules. The company is acquiring a 334,000-square-foot building on 66 acres in Merrimack and a separate 54-acre site in Hooksett, with the locations set to house ChiP Fab-2 and Fab-3 and provide nearly 1 million square feet of combined manufacturing capacity.
The expansion comes as Vicor's existing 320,000-square-foot ChiP Fab-1 facility in Andover approaches its utilization limits. The new fabs are intended to provide the scalability needed to serve major OEM customers and hyperscale data-center operators, particularly as AI computing drives demand for more advanced power-delivery architectures. Vicor's proprietary Vertical Power Delivery technology is designed to address power-conversion bottlenecks in high-performance AI systems.
