Apple announced on Wednesday, the 8th, a new long-term contract with Broadcom, exceeding US$30 billion, aimed at intensifying semiconductor manufacturing in American territory. This agreement represents the company's largest industrial commitment in the United States and is part of the company's strategy to expand its local production.
As part of this project, Broadcom will increase its facilities in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a financial injection of US$1.5 billion. It is estimated that thanks to this initiative, more than 15 billion chips will be manufactured in the country, intended to power future generations of Apple devices.
The collaboration between the two companies will be extended to the development and supply of customized chips produced in the US. These components will be used in the company's next product lines and encompass crucial technologies for connecting devices to mobile networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Documents submitted by Broadcom to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicate that the long-term contracts cover the development and supply of application-specific integrated circuit products, known as ASICs, valid until 2031. This type of chip has been increasingly used in applications related to artificial intelligence.
This pact represents the largest involvement ever assumed by Apple in its program focused on strengthening American manufacturing. Furthermore, it is part of the US$600 billion investment plan over four years, which the company revealed in 2025. Apple stated that the initiative supports its goal of expanding the entire semiconductor production chain in the country, affirming that it has collaborated with the Administration and American companies to establish a complete silicon supply chain.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, highlighted the importance of the components generated at the Fort Collins facility for the proper functioning of the company's equipment. In his statement, he expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump and his administration for supporting the project, mentioning that the Fort Collins components are vital for the performance and connectivity expected by Apple consumers.
For his part, Hock Tan, CEO of Broadcom, communicated that this new commitment will enable the growth of the chip manufacturer's industrial presence in the city of Fort Collins, as Apple's support will aid in the expansion of local manufacturing.
