HOUSTON — As part of its new United States investments, Apple will work with partners to begin production of a manufacturing facility in Houston later this year.
According to a news release, a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility, slated to open in 2026, will create thousands of jobs.
“Previously manufactured outside the U.S., the servers that will soon be assembled in Houston play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence, and are the foundation of Private Cloud Compute, which combines powerful AI processing with the most advanced security architecture ever deployed at scale for AI cloud computing,” the release stated. “The servers bring together years of R&D by Apple engineers, and deliver the industry-leading security and performance of Apple silicon to the data center.”
Teams at Apple designed the servers to be energy efficient, reducing the energy demands of Apple data centers, which already run on 100% renewable energy.
Houston has a growing reputation for being one of the top technology hubs in the United States’ Southern region.
According to a report by CommercialCafe, a study that ranked the top 20 Southern metro areas with populations of more than 200,000 by evaluating factors like tech job density, median earnings and overall quality of life revealed that Houston took the number nine spot for having a growing presence of tech companies in 2024.
