Fab 10 began construction in 1991, and was opened in February 1994 following a total investment of £500 million since commencing operations in 1989.

[30][31] In June 1997, Intel sought planning permission for “a two-storey over basement wafer fabrication production extension with roof mounted equipment to existing Fab 14 complex”.

[35] Fab 24 was officially opened in June 2004 by then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, and the new facility represented an investment of $2 billion.

[36] In April 2005, Intel announced that the one-billionth microchip had been manufactured by the Leixlip-based operation after 12 years in business.

[38][39] In 2019, work began on Fab 34 which was key to doubling the company's manufacturing space in Ireland and making the way for the production of Intel's 4 process technology.
