Arizona’s semiconductor ecosystem continues to add Asian-headquartered suppliers and advanced-manufacturing companies, and two of the newest additions are especially notable for the Valley.
Cica-Huntek Opens in Phoenix
Taiwan-based Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology completed and activated its U.S. facility in Phoenix in July 2026. The company makes chemical delivery systems used in semiconductor facilities and described the Arizona expansion as part of its effort to support customers in North America. The Arizona Commerce Authority said the company invested about $8 million in a 25,880-square-foot plant and office facility.

TOCALO Establishes a Chandler Facility
Japan-based TOCALO announced in April 2026 that it leased 32,045 square feet at 400 N. 56th St. in Chandler for a coating-service facility supporting semiconductor equipment components and other advanced-manufacturing customers.

A Growing Asian Business Community in the Valley
These arrivals add to a broader network of Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian companies already operating or expanding in Arizona’s semiconductor and advanced-manufacturing sectors. For employees, visiting engineers, contractors, customers, and families relocating to the Valley, that also means a growing community looking for familiar flavors and places to gather after work.
For Teams Working Across Phoenix, Chandler, Mesa, and Tempe
Tasty Thai is a family-run Thai restaurant at 510 W Broadway Rd in Tempe. We are open until midnight, which makes us useful for people whose workday does not end on a standard dinner schedule. We serve dine-in, pickup, and direct online ordering, and we can also talk through larger work-group orders when timing and kitchen capacity allow.
We are not affiliated with Cica-Huntek or TOCALO. We are simply glad to see more Asian companies and technical teams putting down roots in Arizona, and we welcome the people coming with them.
