NXP is a global provider of semiconductor products based in Chandler, Arizona. NXP services several key industries such as automotive and communications to provide crucial components and equipment.
Initially formed as part of Motorola in 1949, NXP has called Arizona home for many decades. At the time, Motorola moved here because of dry weather, reliable electricity supply and stable access to water. A unique factor made possible by SRP given our desert environment.
These critical components are reasons NXP continues to grow their footprint in the Valley.
The City of Chandler helped the company complete a new fabrication site in 2020 that is focused on supporting 5G infrastructure as well as aerospace and defense components. As a tech company, NXP’s needs are just material based.
Chandler, as well as local institutes such as Arizona State University, have fostered an educational ecosystem that pushes STEM-based learning, creating an environment where science-based jobs and employers can flourish.
The strong partnership between NXP, Chandler and SRP is one built on trust. NXP continues to expand their operations in the Valley due to their complete confidence in its municipal and utility partners.
Current company stats: 1,500 employees based in Chandler. 31,000 employees globally.
With SRP, it's (electricity) nothing we think about, which means we have great confidence in the supply that we receive and the stability and reliability of the source. And as such, it gives us confidence to continue expanding.
