TEMPE, AZ – EMD Performance Materials has a new name in the US: EMD Electronics. EMD Electronics includes semiconductor materials, semiconductor delivery systems and services, display, and surface solutions.

The company is relocating its Silicon Valley Innovation Hub from Menlo Park, CA, to Intermolecular's San Jose facilities, combining with Intermolecular's services for materials and electronics, creating a space for collaboration with startups. This announcement follows the $22 million investment at the EMD Electronics site in Tempe for its R&D and production for semiconductor materials announced in February.

The electronics business globally employs more than 7,400, with a third of employees in the US across 29 sites, with plans for continued growth in planarization and thin-films organizations following recent investments.
