Is Arizona on Track in Becoming the Next Nation’s Semiconductor Hub?
Phoenix, Arizona, is becoming a hub for a variety of national and international companies. Electric car manufacturers such as Lucid Motors, Electra Meccanica, and Nikola have already flocked to the valley. These start-up electric car manufacturers have set up shop in the last 16 months. In addition, California-based companies are also considering a move or building an additional location here in the valley.
The biggest news is how Phoenix Metro is affected by the semiconductor industry and what growth it will provide over the next ten years for Arizona. Semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung (potential $17 billion), Intel (an additional $20 billion chip plant), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. ($12 billion manufacturing plant), Medtronic, Microchip, and NXP have purchased land, signed contracts, broken ground, and some have already built their manufacturing plants. The Greater Phoenix Metro is on track to become a major player in America’s semiconductor manufacturing industry.
So, what’s the draw? Arizona offers proximity to California and Mexico, opening many companies up to global markets and a robust supply chain. Not only are we seeing more manufacturers coming here, but we are also seeing more suppliers coming to Arizona, making it easier to transfer parts to other companies. Available land for purchase at a lower cost than most states, preplanned and existing infrastructure, favorable tax incentives are attractive to start-ups and existing companies alike. With so many people relocating to Arizona, the talent pool has grown exponentially in the last two decades, providing employers with experienced applicants.
Hundreds of homes are being planned near the TSMC 1,128-acre manufacturing plant at Interstate 17 and Loop 303, as TSMC will create 1,900 jobs in the first phase alone when production begins in 2024. Predictions for Intel include 3,000 permanent high-tech, high-wage jobs, over 3,000 construction jobs, and approximately 15,000 local long-term jobs in support companies, per Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO.
“BPG is a well-established telecommunications infrastructure company with a 20+ year history in the Phoenix Metro Area, and well-positioned to support the efforts. Primarily because of our experience with CCTV, RFID, Structured Cabling and Fiber Optic Installation Services,” commented Scott Tubbs, Director of Business Development. “We have existing relationships and partnerships with contractors, suppliers, vendors, and infrastructure companies like APS, SRP, and Cox. Our four divisions (Design & Engineering, Construction, Technologies, and Electric) make it easy to take a project from concept to connection! We have the financial resources, an impressive fleet, and an EMR safety rating to be proud of.”
Todd Heaton, Director of Employee Resources, added, “We have an established talent pool and hiring process with a lower-than-average turnover rate. 47% of our workforce has been with BPG for three or more years, and a handful of employees have worked for BPG for more than 20 years. We are ready, and we always find a way!”
With a global shortage of semiconductor chips, Arizona will continue to grow its technology and advanced manufacturing footprint. Arizona is already a top-five state for semiconductor production, with multiple industry leaders choosing the state to start, expand or relocate operations. BPG is proud to already play a part in this expansion, and we look forward to what’s to come.

BPG Moves into New Home in the Los Angeles, California Area
BPG Designs, LLC relocated its Los Angeles office and construction yard to a new location in Fullerton, California. The new office building and yard will be an anchor point for the greater Los Angeles area and allows for further expansion as our California division grows.

“We’ve been looking at this move for quite some time now,” commented Justin Platchek, the Chief Operations Officer of BPG Designs, LLC. “BPG started operating in Southern California with the opening of our Carlsbad office, serving the Orange County and San Diego markets and added an additional office in the Los Angeles area in May of 2020. The California Division has grown rapidly since then, and we’ve added an excellent team to handle customer requests with the precision that BPG is known for in Arizona and Nevada. It was clear to us that it was necessary to add a construction yard to handle all our equipment needs in the greater Los Angeles area.”

Structured Cabling Systems for Smart Buildings
Building Enterprise Networks has become as critical as building electrical, water, and gas systems. Several studies have shown that nearly 75% of leasing decision-makers feel it is essential to have a reliable internet connection in their office space to conduct company business.
Traditional LAN networks of the past only relied on connectivity to desktop PCs. Today, the entire building automation, HVAC, lighting, AP, and camera’s to name a few, rely on a healthy and robust structured cabling system.

BPG Plans Expansion to the West Valley in Phoenix, Arizona
BPG recently purchased land to build a second location in Avondale, Arizona. In addition to their headquarters in Tempe, Arizona, this second Arizona location will double BPG’s office and yard space in the Phoenix Metro Area. This decision supports the company’s growth strategy, accommodates the rapid growth in the West Valley, and leverages the area’s diverse construction talent pool.
“The decision to expand our presence into the West Valley was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Ben Goddard, President, and CEO. “We are outgrowing our current yard in Tempe. The main driving factor in moving forward with the land purchase and building this second location in Arizona was to reduce travel time to and from work for our employees living in the West Valley. Establishing a second location also provides us the opportunity to expand our staff with employees from the West Valley, and a second-yard location gives us capabilities to better serve our existing and new customers on that side of town.”

BPG Adds Conduit and Fiber Optic Cable Plowing to its Services
The demand for high-speed internet connections is greater now than ever before. Carriers are rushing to install fiber optic connections to homes, businesses, government facilities, smart cities, and educational institutions. In the power and energy industry, solar and wind farms are becoming more in demand as the push for cleaner energy is a priority in the private and public sectors. Power and fiber optic cable is the primary method utilized to connect the solar panels and wind turbines back to a central control center.
To meet this demand and other long-haul projects, BPG has invested in plowing equipment to meet our customer’s needs. Conduit and fiber optic plowing is a cost-effective installation method that is advantageous to our customer’s budgets and installation timelines. On average, there is a 75 percent cost saving by simply using a utility plow versus trenching on long-haul projects.
