Apple to Assemble Mac mini in Houston This Year as Texas Campus Doubles

The Houston build-out reflects Apple’s $600 billion push to localize key supply chains.

Overview

  • Assembly will take place at a Foxconn-operated site in north Houston, where Apple is converting a 220,000-square-foot warehouse into a Mac mini line.
  • Houston-built units are slated to serve U.S. customers, with Mac mini production for other regions continuing in Asia.
  • Apple is accelerating AI server manufacturing at the same campus after beginning shipments ahead of schedule in 2025, with logic boards produced onsite for U.S. data centers.
  • A new 20,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston will open later this year to provide hands-on training in advanced manufacturing techniques.
  • Apple says the expansion will create thousands of jobs and is part of a broader U.S. program that includes sourcing over 20 billion domestically made chips and major commitments with partners such as TSMC, GlobalWafers, Amkor and Corning.
