Apple Opens Houston Center to Train Next Generation of U.S. Manufacturers

The site will train businesses for free and begin Mac Mini production later this year as Apple expands U.S. manufacturing.

  • On Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick opened a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, offering free educational classes and training for businesses.
  • The opening advances Apple's $600 billion American Manufacturing Program, which supports domestic production capacity through purchase commitments and infrastructure investments across America.
  • Production at the facility includes AI servers, and Cook said the site has "shipped the first advanced AI servers off the line," with Mac Mini assembly starting later this year.
  • Lutnick praised the commitment, stating, "We needed Apple's commitment to build here in America," and highlighted Apple's potential to lead advanced manufacturing expansion.
  • This opening follows previous Apple manufacturing efforts, including the 2019 Austin, Texas, plant where the $6,000 Mac Pro was assembled under Cook's leadership.
