Apple to increase spend with Broadcom to produce billions more U.S. chips
Apple will spend over $30 billion with Broadcom to produce more than 15 billion U.S.-made chips, expanding Fort Collins manufacturing and creating hundreds of jobs as part of its American Manufacturing Program.
Apple announced a multiyear agreement with Broadcom valued at over $30 billion, aiming to produce more than 15 billion custom silicon components and wireless technologies in the U.S. The deal is Apple’s largest commitment under its American Manufacturing Program, launched in 2023 to strengthen domestic chip production. Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to modernize its Fort Collins, Colorado, facility, which will manufacture advanced radio frequency components and wireless connectivity technologies. The expansion is expected to support hundreds of American jobs and aligns with Apple’s broader $600 billion U.S. investment plan over four years.
Broadcom will produce FBAR filters and other advanced components at its Fort Collins plant, enhancing Apple’s supply chain for future products. The facility’s upgrades are part of a broader effort to establish an end-to-end silicon supply chain in the U.S., reducing reliance on overseas manufacturing. Apple and Broadcom have collaborated for decades, with this agreement marking a significant scaling of their partnership. The investment reflects both companies’ commitment to domestic innovation and job creation in the technology sector.
Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that the components produced in Fort Collins are critical to delivering expected performance and connectivity in its products. He highlighted the role of U.S.-based suppliers in supporting innovation and thanked the administration for its support of such projects. The announcement underscores Apple’s ongoing efforts to localize key manufacturing processes, including chip production, within the United States. Broadcom’s expansion in Colorado is a central pillar of this strategy.
Broadcom President and CEO Hock Tan emphasized the company’s long-standing collaboration with Apple and its shared dedication to American innovation. The Fort Collins facility will continue to develop technologies that enable global connectivity, reinforcing the site’s role in Broadcom’s manufacturing network. These investments are part of Apple’s broader economic commitment, which includes $600 billion in U.S. investments over four years to bolster manufacturing, job creation, and technology development across the country. The agreement reflects a coordinated effort between the private sector and government to strengthen domestic supply chains.
