Gianforte Welcomes Semiconductor Firm to Montana

August 25, 2025

Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday marked the opening of Eshylon Scientific’s new facility in Bozeman, cutting the ribbon on the semiconductor manufacturing solutions company’s relocation from California to Montana.

The governor toured the site and highlighted the investment as part of Montana’s growing technology and semiconductor industry. “Montana is becoming a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation thanks to our growing economy and pro-business policies,” Gianforte said. “It’s great to welcome Eshylon Scientific to the Treasure State to experience our unmatched quality of life, highly qualified workforce, and the best climate for business.”

Eshylon Scientific founder and CEO Eryn Smith said the company initially planned only an expansion to Montana but ultimately decided to move its entire operation out of the Bay Area. “Montana offers a talented workforce,” Smith said. “We are working closely with Montana State University, donating resources and hiring their graduating class of engineers. There’s lots of advantages to doing business here in Montana.”

The company, a supplier in the quantum and photonics industry, connected with the Montana Department of Commerce during a quantum technology conference, which Smith credited with helping to secure the relocation.

Eshylon’s Bozeman facility will serve as its primary research, development, and manufacturing site. The company has invested about $1 million to date, with plans to expand that investment significantly. It currently employs four Montanans, with expectations for additional hiring as operations grow.
