Apple to Expand American Manufacturing Programme by US$400m
“We are very proud to be working with Apple to accelerate US manufacturing. We share their commitment to do more in the US, and our teams are working side-by-side with theirs in the US.”
TDK’s US facility will supply TMR sensors in devices shipped all over the world, and will increase the volume of chips that Apple will source from US silicon supply chains.
Expanded with other partners
As part of this new investment in Apple’s AMP, Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries will establish new semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ facility in New York that will enable Apple to develop mixed-signal solutions for a number of applications, including advanced ICs to power Face ID systems.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, says: “At Apple, we believe in the power of American innovation and manufacturing, and we’re proud to partner with even more companies to produce critical components and cutting-edge materials for our products right here in the US.
“Today, we’re joining with world-class partners like Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics to further expand Apple’s US supply chain through our American Manufacturing Program. This is another powerful example of what is possible when we invest in American ingenuity, and we’re excited to build the future together.”
