“Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology Celebrates Opening Of New Facility In Phoenix” (Arizona Commerce Authority)

Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology USA Corp. celebrated the opening of its new 25,880-square-foot facility at 1654 W. Knudsen Drive in Phoenix on Thursday, officials said. The expansion aims to support the company’s growing operations and chemical supply to semiconductor customers in the U.S. market.

Cushman & Wakefield represented Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology USA Corp. in the transaction, with brokers Michael Kitlica and John Pompey named as the buyer’s representatives. The seller was identified as AWDVI LLC by Cushman & Wakefield and as AMDVI LLC by REBusinessOnline, indicating a minor discrepancy in the seller’s name.

The company purchased the 25,880-square-foot industrial building at 1654 W. Knudsen Drive in Phoenix for approximately $8 million to $8.06 million, according to reports from REBusinessOnline and Cushman & Wakefield.

The facility sits on about 1.5 acres and features a freestanding industrial layout described as suitable for manufacturing, assembly, and distribution operations, officials said. The acquisition supports the company’s strategic expansion of its U.S. footprint to better serve semiconductor customers, particularly in the North Phoenix semiconductor ecosystem. Cica-Huntek aims to leverage the site’s proximity to major transportation routes and nearby semiconductor fabs, including those operated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to Arizona Commerce Authority statements.

Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology USA Corp. operates as the U.S. subsidiary of Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology Taiwan Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-based chemical supplier specializing in semiconductor-related chemicals. The parent company’s headquarters are located at Floor 13-2, No. 5, Taiyuan 1st Street, Zhubei City, Hsinchu County, within Taiwan’s Hsinchu science and semiconductor cluster, records show. Contact information for the Taiwan headquarters includes telephone number +886-3-5532720 and email [email protected].

The new Phoenix facility marks a shift from the company’s previous office-based presence toward local manufacturing and processing capabilities in the U.S. market, officials said. The industrial building’s layout supports production and logistics activities tailored to the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors rather than general industrial uses. While specific production lines at the Phoenix site have not been publicly detailed, the company’s core business involves supplying chemicals critical to semiconductor fabrication.

Corporate filings list the principal address of Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology USA Corp. at 300 W Clarendon Ave, Suite 240, Phoenix, AZ 85013, which serves as the central hub for business operations and correspondence in the U.S., according to state records. Additionally, the company maintains an office at 691 S Milpitas Blvd, Suite 212, Milpitas, California, indicating a multi-state U.S. presence aimed at serving different clusters of semiconductor customers.

The Phoenix facility is part of a broader industry trend involving Asia-based semiconductor chemical suppliers expanding manufacturing capacity near new chip fabrication plants in the United States. North Phoenix has emerged as a key semiconductor hub anchored by TSMC’s fabs, attracting suppliers like Cica-Huntek that provide essential materials to support advanced manufacturing. The company’s investment in the Knudsen Drive property aligns with efforts to strengthen supply-chain operations and meet the increasing demand within the local semiconductor ecosystem.

The acquisition price places the Knudsen Drive facility among the higher-value small to mid-size industrial properties in the Phoenix market, Cushman & Wakefield noted. The property’s functional design and strategic location are expected to enhance Cica-Huntek’s ability to manufacture, assemble, and distribute semiconductor chemicals to customers across the region.

Overall, the expansion underscores Cica-Huntek’s commitment to growing its U.S. operations in alignment with the rapid development of the Phoenix semiconductor cluster, officials said. The company’s presence in the region complements its Taiwan headquarters and supports its role as a supplier within the global semiconductor supply chain.
