Semiconductors are more than components. They're strategic infrastructure.

As demand grows across critical industries, domestic semiconductor manufacturing plays an essential role in strengthening supply chains, supporting national security, and powering the technologies that keep the world moving.

At Polar, we’re proud to manufacture in the U.S. and support key markets where reliability, efficiency, and supply confidence matter most. These include:

✈️ 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 & 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 — mission-critical power and secure supply
🏢 𝗔𝗜 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 — efficient power for compute-intensive infrastructure
🚗 Automotive — reliable semiconductors for electrification and control
⚡ 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 — resilient, efficient power systems
🏭 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 — automation, sensing, and productivity

From our fab in Bloomington, Minnesota, we’re helping advance the power and sensor technologies that support critical innovation across America’s semiconductor ecosystem.

Last Thursday, Polar was proud to take part in STEM Day at the Minnesota State Fair. And what a beautiful day it was to celebrate science, technology, engineering, and curiosity! 🎪☀️

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, explored hands-on activities, and spent time with the Polar team. We loved seeing so much excitement from students, families, educators, and future innovators.

One of the most memorable moments of the day was a special “Polar past and present” connection: Dennis, who worked for Control Data in the 1970s (at the Bloomington site that is now Polar Semiconductor), met Ellen, a current Polar employee. It was a powerful reminder of the long history of technology and manufacturing at our site, and the exciting future still being built there today.

A huge thank you to our Polar volunteers for representing the team so well and helping inspire the next generation of STEM talent. 👏

Last week, we celebrated the completion of Polar's 2026 summer intern program and the outstanding students who contributed so much to our team this season! 🙌

Throughout the summer, our interns brought curiosity, energy, and fresh perspective to teams across Polar. They gained hands-on experience in a high-tech semiconductor manufacturing environment while supporting meaningful work in engineering, automation, technology development, quality, facilities, finance, IT, safety, business development, and more.

We’re proud of the growth they showed, the questions they asked, and the impact they made during their time with us.

A special thank you to our interns for all of your hard work this summer, and to the Polar team members who helped mentor, guide, and support them along the way. 👏

We were grateful to celebrate together with a great meal catered by Apple Spice - Minneapolis - St. Paul .

Congratulations to our 2026 summer intern class! 🎓
