Applied Materials, Inc. is working with Apple and Texas Instruments to bolster the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain in the United States.
Applied is supporting Apple’s partnership with TI by supplying American-made chipmaking equipment from Austin, Texas to TI’s U.S. factories. Austin is home to Applied’s largest manufacturing and logistics facility.
In addition, Applied plans to invest more than $200M in Arizona to establish a state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing critical components for semiconductor equipment. This investment builds on the more than $400M Applied has invested in its U.S. equipment manufacturing infrastructure over the past five years.

In Arizona, Applied Materials is already a key part of the state’s high-tech ecosystem, collaborating closely with customers, partners and universities.
Applied plans to invest more than $200M to create a new advanced manufacturing facility in Chandler to produce semiconductor equipment components and parts. The facility could support the creation of potentially 200 additional manufacturing, R&D and services jobs in the semiconductor field over a five-year period. (Source)
