Apple has unveiled plans to invest $400 million to expand its manufacturing footprint in the United States, bringing in new partners such as Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics under its American Manufacturing Program. The investment, which will be made over the next few years, is aimed at increasing local production of key components used in Apple devices.
The initiative is part of Apple’s broader effort to make its supply chain more resilient by reducing dependence on overseas manufacturing. With global uncertainties and supply disruptions continuing to impact industries, the company is focusing on building stronger domestic capabilities for producing critical technologies.
Under the expanded program, Apple will work with Bosch and other partners to manufacture sensing components within the US. Cirrus Logic will collaborate with semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries to develop advanced chips that power features like Face ID. These efforts are expected to bring more high-tech production processes to the country.
In addition, Japan-based TDK plans to begin manufacturing sensors in the United States instead of relying entirely on overseas facilities. Qnity Electronics will contribute materials essential for semiconductor and artificial intelligence technologies, further supporting Apple’s growing ecosystem.
Apple said the investment will help improve supply chain stability while also contributing to job creation and technological development in the US. The move builds on the company’s earlier commitment to significantly increase its spending on American manufacturing and innovation.
