Timeline of documented records
Documented records
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | 2010-05-07 | $1,200,000,000 | Numonyx B.V. (owner of the Kiryat Gat, Israel fab) Completed the all-stock acquisition of flash-memory maker Numonyx (~$1.2 billion; ~138 million Micron shares issued to Intel, STMicroelectronics and Francisco Partners). The deal brought Micron the former Intel Fab 18 in Kiryat Gat and its roughly 1,200 Israeli employees. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2010 | — | Micron Technology Israel (Kiryat Gat fab) Operated the Kiryat Gat NOR-flash fab (Numonyx 'Fab 1'/Micron 'Fab 12', originally Intel Fab 18) from 2010 with ~1,200-1,300 workers. This ended: in December 2012 Micron announced it would move production abroad and sell or close the fab, and in September 2013 Intel agreed to take the plant back and offered jobs to ~800 Micron employees; Micron's chip manufacturing in Israel wound down by 2014-2015. | |
| Investment / program | 2011-06 | — | Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Migdal HaEmek, Israel) Became a significant shareholder of Israeli foundry Tower Semiconductor, receiving ~20 million Tower ordinary shares (19,678,322 shares reported, sole voting power) plus cash as consideration for selling Micron's Nishiwaki, Japan fab to Tower; the passive stake was disclosed in an SC 13G filing. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2026 | — | Micron Semiconductor Israel / Micron Technology Israel Ltd. After exiting manufacturing in 2013-2015, Micron maintains a small ongoing presence in Israel: the company's careers site states its team members in Israel are 'dedicated to R&D and sales activities', via local subsidiaries registered in Israel. |
