Overview

• Bosch has signed a preliminary agreement with the U.S. Commerce Department for up to $225 million in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to upgrade its Roseville, California facility.
• The company plans to invest $1.9 billion to transform the plant into a production hub for silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors, critical to electric vehicle efficiency and clean energy technologies.
• The project is expected to create up to 1,700 jobs, including 1,000 construction jobs and 700 roles in manufacturing, engineering, and research and development.
• Once operational in 2026, the Roseville facility could account for over 40% of U.S.-based SiC device manufacturing capacity, boosting domestic semiconductor production.
• The funding aligns with the CHIPS Act's goals of strengthening U.S. supply chains, advancing clean mobility, and fostering economic growth in key industries.
