We All Know About HP’s Headquarters in Corvallis, But What Other Tech Companies Operate There?
Jacobs, Atami, Nuscale, Crown, NV5, Inpria, Edge
Behind the trees and low-profile buildings off Highway 99, and next to the new courthouse being built, a quiet cluster of tech companies, engineering firms, energy innovators, and semiconductor companies are doing work that reaches far beyond our city.
When people think “tech” in Corvallis, they think HP, OSU facilities, Jensen Huang… but the HP campus isn’t just HP.
HP currently has a $17 billion market capitalization, but there is a good chance one of these other innovative companies that operate here will become much larger. New tech takes over old tech.
Some of these companies’ work involves vital resources that could be highly beneficial for the city (or county) to tap into. Infrastructure technology, water systems, clean energy, rural fiber optics, industrial tech, laboratory testing for water, air, soil, and waste (think Coffin Butte)… the list goes on.
And lo and behold, the new Benton County courthouse is being built right next door.
Jacobs: A Global Engineering Powerhouse - Market Cap: $14 Billion
One of the largest players on campus, Jacobs is a multinational engineering and consulting firm working on infrastructure, water systems, and government projects. With tens of thousands of employees worldwide, their Corvallis footprint connects the city to major projects across the globe. Website.
Atami: Semiconductor Materials
Atami operates in the highly specialized world of semiconductor materials and advanced manufacturing. Smaller and more under-the-radar, companies like this are part of the invisible backbone behind modern electronics. Website.
NuScale Power — Nuclear, Reimagined
NuScale is one of Corvallis’ biggest tech success stories. They are headquartered here much like HP. The company designs small modular nuclear reactors, a next-generation approach to clean energy. With hundreds of employees and international visibility, NuScale has quietly put Corvallis on the global energy map. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for humankind by advancing nuclear power. Website.
Crown: Technical Support, Behind the Scenes
Crown provides specialized engineering and technical services. Not flashy, but essential. Firms like this often support larger industrial and government operations, including water solutions and fiber optic networks connecting rural communities. Website.
NV5: Engineering & Geospatial Services
NV5 is a publicly traded consulting and engineering firm with a wide reach: infrastructure, environmental work, and geospatial technology. Their presence brings national-scale projects into a local office setting. Website.
Inpria: Powering the World’s Smallest Tech
Inpria develops advanced materials used to manufacture cutting-edge computer chips. Their work supports EUV lithography, the process behind making the most advanced semiconductors on the planet. It’s the most technical work happening in Corvallis. Website.
Edge Analytical
