Apple is set to open a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston as part of its broader U.S. expansion strategy. According to a Feb. 24 press release, the facility is expected to launch in 2026 and bring thousands of jobs to the region.
The Houston facility will focus on manufacturing servers designed to support Apple Intelligence, the tech giant’s artificial intelligence system. Additionally, Apple plans to increase data center capacity across multiple states, including North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada.
Apple's $500 billion investment in American technology and infrastructure includes the new manufacturing facility.
“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the release. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing.”
Local leaders welcomed Apple’s investment, highlighting Houston’s growing reputation as a center for advanced manufacturing and innovation.
“Apple’s announcement further solidifies Houston’s leadership as a hub for innovation and advanced manufacturing,” said Steve Kean, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership. Our region's business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, strategic global positioning, and proven ability to attract world-class companies make this possible."
As U.S. companies prioritize domestic manufacturing, Houston’s expanding tech infrastructure is positioning the city as a key player in the future of high-tech production.
