Neil Fernandes, Lam Research’s senior vice president of Global Customer Operations led the ribbon cutting ceremony. Commenting on the occasion, Fernandes said the company’s “expansion in Idaho provides critical infrastructure near one of our largest customers and enables us to accelerate our operations in America’s leading hub for world-class memory chip manufacturing.”
