A Cornerstone of Michigan’s Leadership in High-Tech Manufacturing
Fessler & Bowman, Inc.
As the demand for clean energy and semiconductor chips surges globally, Hemlock Semiconductor Operations (HSC) is answering the call with a major expansion project in Thomas Township, Michigan. Backed by a $375 million investment, the development is expected to create 170 high-paying jobs and support the nation’s strategic efforts to secure domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
Expansion of a World Class Facility
As the demand for clean energy and semiconductor chips surges globally, Hemlock Semiconductor Operations (HSC) is answering the call with a major expansion project in Thomas Township, Michigan. Backed by a $375 million investment, the development is expected to create 170 high-paying jobs and support the nation’s strategic efforts to secure domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
On-site, Fessler & Bowman is leading the concrete construction of the filter press building with the support of MEVA Formwork Systems, which supplied its Imperial wall formwork to tackle the site’s technical and structural requirements. Known for its strength, versatility, and consistent tie patterns, MEVA’s Imperial system enabled fast and efficient forming across complex walls and footings – critical for a high-tech project operating on a fast timeline.
I’ve always appreciated how easy MEVA’s Imperial formwork is to work with. I’m familiar with the system, and it consistently delivers a clean, high-quality concrete finish.

Modernizing the manufacturing process
The expansion includes three new buildings and will modernize HSC’s polysilicon manufacturing process – an essential component for semiconductors and solar energy systems. As the largest U.S.-based producer of hyper-pure polysilicon, HSC plays a pivotal role in the global tech ecosystem, and MEVA is proud to contribute the forming solutions that support this world-class facility.
Beyond the site, the project‘s impact is massive: more than $364 million in new personal income is expected to be generated over 10 years, with positive ripple effects for local businesses, infrastructure upgrades, and regional redevelopment. Enabled by the CHIPS and Science Act, this project is a cornerstone of Michigan’s leadership in high-tech manufacturing.
MEVA is grateful for the trust Fessler & Bowman has placed in our products and service. We’re proud to play a part in shaping the foundation of America’s semiconductor future.
