Intel abandons major investments in Poland and Germany
Intel announced its investment decisions during the presentation of its financial results for Q2 2025. These indicate that the company will no longer proceed with planned projects in Germany and Poland. Moreover, the press release highlights that ‘The company also intends to consolidate its assembly and testing facilities in Costa Rica, Vietnam and Malaysia. In addition, Intel will further slow the pace of construction of the Ohio plant to ensure that spending is aligned with market demand.’
David Zinsner, Intel's CFO: ‘The changes we are making to reduce operating costs, improve capital efficiency and monetise non-core assets have a positive impact on our efforts to strengthen our balance sheet and prepare the company for the future.’
There will be no Intel plant near Wroclaw – R&D centre in Gdańsk will remain
Among Intel's suspended projects is the construction of a state-of-the-art semiconductor integration and testing facility in the Miękinia commune near Wroclaw.’
Intel’s representatives: 'Although Intel has decided not to proceed with its planned investment near Wroclaw, we keep up our operations in Gdańsk, where our largest R&D centre in Europe is located. As we grow our Foundry business in line with our strategic goals, we are well positioned to increase production in Europe to meet future customer demand.’
Developed land of 400 ha in Miękinia waiting for an investor
In an interview with Radio Wrocław, the Mayor of Miękinia Jan Grzegorczyn emphasised that despite Intel's decision to abandon the project, the Miękinia commune is continuing its activities related to the development of the industrial site. ‘A transport system, a water treatment plant and a sewage treatment plant are under construction. This will probably be the only developed land of around 400 hectares in Poland that will be ready for investment,’ the mayor told Radio Wrocław.
Intel first suspends investment, now abandons it
In 2024, we informed on wroclaw.pl that Intel was restructuring the company. At the time, the corporation announced that it was halting its investments in Europe for two years and suspending its plans to build a chip factory both in Poland and Germany. It is now certain that the Americans are completely abandoning these projects.
Intel: It was to be the largest foreign investment in Poland
Intel's investment was one of the flagship projects of Mateusz Morawiecki's government. In June 2023, it was announced in the presence of the Prime Minister in Wroclaw that US-based Intel would build a Semiconductor Integration and Testing Facility. The US giant's plans were personally presented by Mark Brzezinski, US Ambassador to Poland. The plant was to be built in the Wroclaw agglomeration in Miękinia. It was to be the largest foreign investment in Poland: USD 4.6 billion and 2,000 jobs.
What did Intel plan to produce at the new plant near Wroclaw?
Intel's investment in Poland, combined with the existing silicon wafer fabrication plant in Ireland and the second planned silicon wafer fabrication plant in Magdeburg, Germany, was to create a comprehensive and most technologically advanced supply chain in semiconductor chip manufacturing – the first of this kind in Europe.
