Qorvo manufacturing plant sold for $18 million to data center supplier

Lumentum, a global leader in optical and photonic technologies, has acquired a former Qorvo Inc. manufacturing plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, for $18 million. The transaction involves a facility previously operated by Qorvo, which has now been purchased by Lumentum, a company that describes itself as a supplier for the networks and infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence. The acquisition reflects Lumentum's strategic investment in its supply chain capabilities, particularly in support of the growing data center sector. While the specific future use of the plant was not detailed beyond its role as a "data center supplier" facility, the purchase indicates a continued expansion of the tech infrastructure footprint in the Greensboro area.
