 Hoku Materials, a division of Hoku Scientific, plans to build a $220 million polysilicon production plant in Pocatello, Idaho. CH2M HILL Lockwood Greene will build the facility, according to Hoku, and will create 200 jobs.
The Hawaii-based company plans to produce the polysilicon for its own solar panel business and offer excess supply to the semiconductor market.
Dustin Shindo, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Hoku Scientific, said, "We are pleased to have selected the City of Pocatello as the location for our polysilicon production facility. We believe Pocatello is an ideal location for a business of this nature due to its pro-business environment, highly skilled labor force, and ability to meet the operational needs of a growing company such as ours."
