| About Intel Massachusetts |
|
Intel has had a major manufacturing and research and development presence in Hudson, Massachusetts since 1998. The 149-acre site includes 1.3 million square feet of building space, including the Fab 17 semiconductor manufacturing plant. Intel employs about 2,200 people in Hudson.
Manufacturing in Hudson
Intel has invested more than USD 2 billion in its Hudson manufacturing center, one of the biggest such investments in the state. About half of Intel Massachusetts employees work in manufacturing.
Research and development in Hudson
Product developers in Hudson design microprocessors that power high-performance server or multi-user computers, or add capabilities to a wide range of commercial or industrial products. Software teams in Hudson develop technology for notebook computers and other mobile products.
Community involvement
Intel Massachusetts employees also take their talent and dedication into the community. In 2006, 40 percent of employees volunteered in a community service project. Many volunteers have used their computer skills to help the Hudson and Marlborough Councils on Aging, the Hudson Police Department, residents of the non-profit New Horizons independent and assisted living center in Marlborough, and the flood-damaged Whitin Community Center in Whitinsville.
Intel employees donated more than $183,894 to the 2006 Intel Massachusetts Community Giving Campaign, which the Intel Foundation matched for a combined $366,000 contribution to non-profit agencies. Intel community grants have also made the Hudson Public Library one of the town's first free Internet hotspots, and supported the growth of the Assabet River Rail Trail* in town.
Support for education
Intel is well known for its commitment to improving education, especially in science, technology, engineering and math. A good example is Intel's collaboration with Nashoba Regional High School, where an Intel grant stimulated the growing use of tablet notebook computers in teaching math and other subjects.
This year Intel volunteers are introducing Hudson, Marlborough, and Worcester middle school students to engineering in an outreach program inspired by the Intel-sponsored PBS Series Design Squad*. The goal is to awaken students' interest in engineering and technical careers at an age when many students begin to drift away from math and science.
Hudson named its high school's theater for Intel in recognition of the support of Intel and its employees. Both Hudson and Marlborough have nominated Intel to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees for its "Outstanding School Partner" award, a distinction that Intel won in both 2002 and 2005.
Intel and the environment
In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made Intel Massachusetts a member of its elite PerformanceTrack program, which "recognizes and rewards facilities that consistently exceed regulatory requirements, work closely with their communities, and excel in protecting the environment and public health." The Worcester Business Journal and the Massachusetts Audubon Society also honored Intel Massachusetts with their annual Environmental Award for water conservation last year.
During Earth Week each April, Intel volunteers help run a used electronics recycling event for their MetroWest neighbors. The 2006 event was the biggest yet, attracting 56 tons of material for safe recycling.
