Three Israeli Companies Named Among Intel’s Top Global Suppliers for 2026

29 March, 2026

Camtek, Nova and U.P.Pro join a select group of companies recognized with Intel’s prestigious EPIC award, highlighting Israel’s deep role in the global semiconductor supply chain

Intel has announced the recipients of its 2026 EPIC Supplier Award, the company’s highest recognition for business partners. Selected from thousands of suppliers worldwide, only a small group of companies demonstrating exceptional performance across key metrics — Excellence, Partnership, Inclusion and Continuous Improvement — make the final list. This year, three Israeli firms — Camtek, Nova and U.P.Pro — secured their place among the global elite.

The EPIC award is considered a key indicator of which companies play a critical role behind Intel’s advanced manufacturing operations. Winners span a broad range of capabilities, from semiconductor equipment and inspection systems to materials, cleaning solutions and operational services. Alongside the Israeli companies, the list includes global players across the semiconductor value chain, reflecting the complexity and scale of Intel’s supply ecosystem.

Within this ecosystem, the three Israeli companies represent distinct yet complementary layers. Camtek provides inspection and metrology systems used directly on semiconductor production lines, scanning wafers to detect defects and improve yield. Nova, a global leader in metrology, delivers advanced measurement solutions that enable precise control over manufacturing processes — from material composition to structural layers. Intel has maintained a long-standing relationship with Nova, including early-stage collaboration and investment.

U.P.Pro operates in a different domain: supply chain optimization. The company provides tools and systems for managing suppliers, inventory flows and complex operational processes, helping Intel maintain continuity across highly sensitive manufacturing environments.

Together, the three companies illustrate the depth of Israel’s integration into the core of Intel’s operations — not merely as component suppliers, but as strategic partners embedded in the most critical stages of semiconductor manufacturing in the AI era.
