Solidigm Moves HQs to Rancho Cordova in Greater Sacramento

Solidigm Technology named the City of Rancho Cordova in Greater Sacramento the company’s new global HQs.

The decision was made due to Greater Sacramento’s access to skilled talent, quality of life, and support for technology businesses. The state capital region is ranked 7th in the country among large metropolitan statistical areas for higher education talent with more than 700,000 students enrolled in higher learning institutions within 100 miles.

“The Sacramento region has a competitive talent pool, support for innovation, and offers a lifestyle highly valued by our team members, making Rancho Cordova the optimal HQs for Solidigm,” said COO Ellen Doller. “The support we received in selecting the site for our global R&D facility made the decision easy. We look forward to continuing to be a part of this vibrant community through job creation, partnerships, and volunteering.”

“Last fall, we were thrilled to announce that Solidigm’s global R&D facility would be headquartered in Rancho Cordova, and we are equally thrilled to welcome Solidigm’s global HQs to the city,” said mayor Linda Budge. “Solidigm is a cutting-edge leader in the semiconductor space, and locating their global HQs here is an economic game-changer for Rancho Cordova and the Sacramento region.“

The company is currently working on tenant improvements to the 230,000-square-foot R&D campus and is targeting a move-in date in 1CQ23. The site was chosen for its ability to combine world-class lab and office space into a single campus, proximity to where firm’s workforce lives, availability of public transportation, and nearby amenities.

“We are thrilled Solidigm decided to make their HQ location in Rancho Cordova,” Greater Sacramento Economic Council president and CEO Barry Broome said. “This validates the state capital market as being one of the top locations in the country for semiconductor talent. We also want to commend the City of Rancho Cordova for its leadership and for making the process business-friendly with ample real estate available. Solidigm made the best choice because the City delivers a great experience and treats industry like their customers.”

“We are pleased to see continued investment in Rancho Cordova from Solidigm and are honored they selected the city as their global HQs,” said congressman Ami Bera. “The overall investment means a significant amount to our community as Solidigm plans to invest in more high-wage jobs to grow their presence in the region. I am proud that Sacramento will continue to be the home of several great semiconductor companies. Combined with the robust funding from Congress through the bipartisan passage of the CHIPS and Science Act and the great engineering talent from our local universities and colleges, I look forward to working with Solidigm and other industry partners to ensure that this investment will continue to bring considerable opportunities that will benefit the Greater Sacramento region and its residents. As a co-chair of the Congressional Korea Caucus, I am excited about Solidigm’s investment in our region as I have worked to grow economic ties between the US and Korea and this investment is another example of the great potential of our countries’ partnership.”

“I want to congratulate Solidigm on this crucial investment for the Sacramento region’s economy as I continue my work at the federal level to support the semiconductor industry,” said congresswoman Doris Matsui. “Two years ago, I introduced the CHIPS Act to address an urgent economic and national security threat – America’s decline in the strategically important semiconductor industry. I will continue working hard as Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Communications and Technology Subcommittee to move policy forward that builds on our progress in the semiconductor industry and invests in our innovators like Solidigm.”
