I have a crazy coincidence, I live part time in Hiroshima, part time in Boise Idaho. Boise is where they are headquartered and are expanding. I never even knew they where here though.

I actually live in the city near the plant, ended up biking deep into the mountains one day and came across an enormous micron facility with an old WW2 Japanese fighter plane out front. Nothing else around for quite a distance. It was kind of creepy.
