WICKLIFFE, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine visited Lake County Monday afternoon to meet with representatives of the Lubrizol Corporation in Wickliffe and tour their research and development campus.
“Lubrizol is one of many corporations throughout Ohio that are collaborating with Intel, which recently announced a $20 billion investment to create a semiconductor chip manufacturing facility in central Ohio,” according to a press release from Gov. DeWine’s office. “The two companies are collaborating to test and commercialize immersion fluid for data center thermal management.”
Others who took part in the governor’s tour included:
- Mary Rinehart, President & CEO, Lubrizol
- Dr. Mohan Kumar, Senior Technical Fellow, Intel

Gov. DeWine announced in late January that Intel selected a site in central Ohio within Licking County as the future home for what is being called the company’s “most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the world.”
Gov. DeWine’s office previously said this project will be the largest single private sector company investment in Ohio’s history. It’s expected to generate more than 20,000 jobs in the state – including 3,000 direct Intel jobs, earning an average of $135,000 per year (plus benefits). There’s also 7,000 construction jobs throughout the course of the build. This project will also mean thousands of additional indirect and support jobs that include contracted positions, electricians and engineers.
