Micron and GM Lock in Long-Term Semiconductor Supply Pact — Micron Technology, Inc.

Event summary

Micron and General Motors signed a Strategic Customer Agreement (SCA) on July 1, 2026 to secure long-term supply of memory and storage platforms for GM’s vehicle production.
The agreement includes collaboration on future memory and storage technology requirements for next-generation vehicles.
Micron is investing $2 billion to modernize its Manassas, Virginia fab, which began production earlier in 2026, to support the deal.
GM will secure supply of LPDRAM, NOR, and UFS NAND products through this agreement.

The big picture

This agreement underscores the critical need for secure semiconductor supply chains in the automotive industry, particularly as vehicles become more software-defined and AI-driven. Micron’s investment in U.S. manufacturing aligns with broader trends of localizing supply chains to mitigate global disruptions. The deal also highlights the growing importance of memory and storage technologies in enabling advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-cabin experiences.
