Apple announced that Bosch, Serious Logic, TDK, and Quinty Electronics are joining its American Manufacturing Program (AMP) to collaborate on manufacturing critical materials and components in the United States for Apple products sold globally. This strategic effort will create jobs and bolster U.S. manufacturing as Apple plans to invest $400 million in these partnerships by 2030.
At Apple, we believe in the power of American innovation and manufacturing, and we are proud to partner with even more companies to produce critical components and state-of-the-art materials for our production right here in the US, said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. So today we are joining with world-class partners like Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Quinty Electronics to further expand Apple’s US supply chain through our American manufacturing program. This is another powerful example of what can be done when we invest in American ingenuity, and we are excited to build the future together.
Building on the ongoing success of AMP, this latest expansion strengthens the impact of Apple’s $600 billion four-year plan to support U.S. manufacturing and innovation. Earlier, the program’s first partners, such as Amcor, Applied Materials, Broadcom, Coherent, Corning, GlobalFoundries, GlobalWafers America, MP Materials, Samsung, and Texas Instruments, achieved major milestones in advancing both domestic manufacturing, listing, and Apple’s US supply chain.
As a key part of this expansion, long-time Apple supplier TDK will, for the first time, manufacture sensors for Apple in the US. The two companies’ 30-year partnership includes work on advanced tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors used in features such as iPhone camera stabilization. With the new US facility, TDK will provide TMR sensors for Apple devices worldwide and increase Apple’s sourcing of chips from US suppliers.
Apple, Bosch, and TSMC will team up to make integrated circuits (ICs) for Bosch’s new sensing hardware at TSMC’s facility in Kamas, Washington. These ICs are important for features like crash detection, activity tracking, and elevation in Apple products.
Apple is also partnering with Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries to set up new semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ facility in Malta, New York. For the first time, GlobalFoundries’ latest silicon process will be available in the US to support important Apple technologies. The partnership enables Cirrus Logic to develop mixed-signal solutions for Apple users, including advanced ICs for Face ID systems, edge components, and methods essential to semiconductor manufacturing and advanced electronics. This alliance will pioneer innovations in high-performance computing and AI, bolster domestic production of critical components, and strengthen America’s leadership in advanced technology.
Apple also supports U.S. jobs and manufacturing through the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, which offers hands-on training in AI automation and smart manufacturing. Since last fall, nearly 150 businesses have participated in free in-person and online sessions. The Academy’s first Spring Forum will be held from April 30 to May 1 at Michigan State University, focusing on AI’s impact on industry.
