Apple Shifts Mac Mini Production to US
24 Feb
Summary
- Apple will begin assembling Mac Mini computers in Houston, Texas later this year.
- This move signifies Apple's latest U.S. investment following a $600 billion commitment.
- The company is also expanding the Houston facility to include a new advanced manufacturing training center.
Apple is set to begin manufacturing some of its Mac Mini desktop computers at a Foxconn facility in Houston, Texas, later this year. This move marks a significant step in the company's U.S. investment strategy, coming after a commitment to invest $600 billion in the nation over the next four years.
While production in Asia will continue to meet global demand, the Houston line aims to cater to local needs as it ramps up. The company, which has a history of shifting production, is also developing an advanced manufacturing training center at the expanding Houston facility.
This strategic decision follows a period where U.S. tariffs on imported goods were a key consideration. Apple's ongoing efforts include shifting some production of its devices to countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and India, though the majority of its products remain manufactured in Asia. The increased confidence in projecting long-term demand for the Mac Mini has contributed to this manufacturing shift.
