MALTA — U.S. Congressman Paul Tonko visited the GlobalFoundries headquarters in Malta last week, along with U.K. members of parliament Gill Furniss, Dan Carden, and Navendu Mishra. The group met with GlobalFoundries employees and toured the facility’s cleanroom.
Tonko hosted the MPs during their trip to the Capital Region as part of the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program. The MPs discussed potential areas of cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom with Tonko, according to a press release.
GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor manufacturer that received $1.5 billion in federal funds earlier this year. The company plans to build a new microchip fabrication plant in Malta.
