Broadcom to expand Fort Collins plant under $30 billion Apple deal

Broadcom will expand its manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a $1.5 billion investment as part of a broader multi-year partnership with Apple worth more than $30 billion, CNBC reported. The deal will see the production of more than 15 billion chips made in the United States, though Apple has not shared an exact timeline for when the new factory lines will come online.

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said Apple’s financial commitment will allow the chipmaker to scale up its operations and secure its manufacturing footprint in Fort Collins for the next decade. Broadcom has long supplied the wireless components that let iPhones and iPads connect to cellular networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Citing a Broadcom security filing, the report said the company will develop and supply “custom ASIC silicon products” for multiple generations of Apple hardware through 2031 — circuits valued in the industry for being optimised to handle heavy AI workloads.

The $30 billion commitment is part of Apple’s $600 billion, four-year US investment strategy first announced in 2025, and marks the single largest pledge made under Apple’s American Manufacturing Program.
