Apple announced that new companies are joining its American Manufacturing Program (AMP), underscoring the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing advanced manufacturing and the production of key components in the United States. Apple is teaming up with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity to produce key materials and components in the U.S. for Apple products sold globally. This effort will create jobs and strengthen American manufacturing. Apple plans to invest $400 million in these new programs by 2030.
At Apple, we value American innovation and manufacturing. We are proud to work with more companies in the US to produce key components and materials for our products. By collaborating with partners like Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics, we are expanding Apple’s US supply chain through AMP. This investment highlights the possibilities with American talent, and we look forward to building the future together.
This expansion builds on AMP’s progress as part of Apple’s $600 billion four-year plan to support US manufacturing and innovation. The program’s initial partners Amkor, Applied Materials, Broadcom, Coherent, Corning, GlobalFoundries, GlobalWafers, Micron, MP Materials, Samsung, and Texas Instruments have already made strides in expanding advanced US manufacturing and strengthening Apple’s supply chain.
For the first time, Apple’s long-term partner TDK will manufacture sensors for Apple in the US. The two companies, partners for over 30 years, have worked on advanced tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors used in iPhone camera stabilization. TDK’s US facility will produce TMR sensors for devices worldwide and increase Apple’s US-sourced chips.
Apple, Bosch, and TMC will team up to make integrated circuits (ICs) for Bosch’s new sensing hardware at TNC’s facility in CAMES, Washington. These ICs are important for features like crash detection, activity tracking, and elevation in Apple products.
Apple is also partnering with Cerus Logic and GlobalFoundries to establish new semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ facility in Malta, New York. For the first time, GlobalFoundries will provide its latest silicon process in the US to support critical technologies in Apple products. This partnership enables Cerus Logic to develop mixed-signal solutions for Apple users, including advanced ICs for Face ID systems.
Qnity Electronics and HD Microsystems will supply advanced materials and technologies for semiconductor and electronics production. This partnership will drive innovation in high-performance computing and AI, help produce key US components, and support America’s leadership in advanced technology.
Apple supports American jobs and manufacturing with Apple Manufacturing Academy, which launched last fall in Detroit. The Academy provides small and medium-sized manufacturers with hands-on training in AI, automation, and smart manufacturing. So far, it has trained nearly 150 businesses through numerous free in-person and online programs.
The Academy will hold its first spring forum from April 30 to May 1 at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. The event will unite students, educators, industry leaders, and businesses to discuss AI’s impact on the industry. For more information or to register, visit manufacturingpingacademy.msu.edu.
