Apple announced new partners for its American Manufacturing Program (AMP), building on its ongoing effort to boost advanced manufacturing and key component production in the United States. The company is teaming up with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics to make key materials and components in the US for Apple products sold around the world. This move will create jobs and help strengthen American manufacturing. Apple plans to invest $ 400 million in these programs by 2030.
Apple expressed its continued commitment to American innovation and manufacturing through its partnerships with Bosch, Cyrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics. These collaborations aim to expand Apple’s US supply chain as part of the American manufacturing program. The company highlights its investment in American talent and its focus on collaborative growth.
This expansion gives Apple’s American Manufacturing Program (AMP) additional momentum by growing its impact on the US economy. AMP is a key part of Apple’s $600 billion four-year pledge to US manufacturing and innovation. Through AMP, Apple collaborates with a range of partners to increase domestic production, create jobs, and strengthen critical supply chains. The program’s first partners, Amkor, Applied Materials, Broadcom, Coherent, Corning, GlobalFoundries, Global Wafers America, MP Materials, Samsung, and Texas Instruments, are already achieving important goals to grow advanced manufacturing in the US and reinforce Apple’s supply chain at home.
TDK will manufacture TMR sensors for Apple in the US for the first time, supplying them from its US facility for Apple devices worldwide and boosting the US chip supply for Apple.
Apple, Bosch, and TSMC will collaborate to produce integrated circuits at TSMC’s Cameras Washington facility for Bosch’s new sensing hardware, enabling features such as crash detection, activity tracking, and elevation in Apple products.
Apple is working with Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries to develop new semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ Malta, New York, facility for the first time. GlobalFoundries’ latest silicon process will be available in the US to support key Apple technologies. This partnership enables Cirrus Logic to develop mixed-signal solutions for several Apple products, including advanced ICs for Face ID systems. HD Microsystems will also provide key components and technologies for semiconductor and advanced electronics production. Together, these efforts will drive new innovations for high-performance computing and AI, boost dynamic production of critical parts, and help keep America at the forefront of advanced technology.
Apple’s support for American jobs and manufacturing also includes the Apple Manufacturing Academy, which started last fall in Detroit. The Academy gives small- and medium-sized manufacturers hands-on training in AI, automation, and smart manufacturing. So far, it has helped nearly 150 businesses through many free in-person training sessions and online programs.
The Academy will hold its first spring forum from April 30 to May 1 at Michigan State University in East Lansing. The event brings together students, educators, and industry leaders to discuss AI’s impact on manufacturing. For details or to register, visit manufacturingacademy.msu.edu.
