CUPERTINO, California—Apple said it is committing more than $30 billion under a new multiyear agreement with Broadcom to expand production of advanced wireless chips in the United States, deepening its investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing as the technology industry continues to strengthen U.S.-based supply chains.
The agreement, announced by the companies, is expected to result in the production of more than 15 billion chips in the United States and support hundreds of jobs. Broadcom will expand and modernize its manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, through a planned $1.5 billion capital investment to produce advanced radio-frequency components, including FBAR filters, and other wireless connectivity technologies used across Apple's product lineup.
Apple said the partnership is the largest commitment to date under its American Manufacturing Program, an initiative launched to increase domestic production of critical components and strengthen U.S. semiconductor capabilities. The company said the agreement forms part of its broader pledge to invest $600 billion in the U.S. economy over four years through manufacturing, research, infrastructure and supplier partnerships.
"Apple and Broadcom have a long history together, and this new phase of our partnership further accelerates our commitment to American manufacturing and innovation," Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement. Cook said the components produced in Fort Collins are essential to the performance and connectivity of Apple devices and thanked the U.S. administration for supporting domestic manufacturing projects.
Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan said the company was "proud to continue to work with Apple" and that the new agreement would expand its manufacturing footprint in Colorado while advancing U.S. technology production.
Broadcom has long supplied Apple with wireless and networking chips used in iPhones and other devices. The latest agreement extends a strategic relationship that analysts say provides Apple with supply-chain certainty while reinforcing Broadcom's role as a key supplier despite Apple's continued efforts to develop more of its own silicon.
The announcement comes amid broader efforts by the U.S. government and major technology companies to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing following supply-chain disruptions and increased geopolitical competition. Apple has steadily added suppliers to its American Manufacturing Program, which includes investments across multiple states and partnerships with companies producing semiconductors, specialty materials and other components for Apple products.
Apple did not specify when the expanded production capacity at Broadcom's Colorado facility would begin operating but said the agreement would help build a more resilient U.S. semiconductor supply chain over the coming years.
