GlobalFoundries: Expansion of partnership with Apple to further develop wireless connectivity and energy management

This partnership enables GF to accelerate investment in its state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing facility in Malta, New York, and underscores a shared commitment to strengthening innovation and production of energy-efficient, AI-enabled technologies in the U.S. that are critical to the future of mobile computing and smart devices.

“Today’s announcement is an important milestone in our decade-long partnership with Apple, working together to manufacture critical wireless connectivity technologies and power management solutions that are important components of the next generation of AI-enabled devices,” said Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries. “This is a testament to GF’s technology differentiation combined with our unique secure onshore capabilities and the confidence Apple has in GF to supply and develop the advanced chips for its next-generation smart mobile technologies. This agreement builds on our previous announcements and reaffirms our shared commitment to strengthening semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. and building a more resilient onshore supply chain.”

“With our new American Manufacturing Program, we are proud to partner with companies like GlobalFoundries to create new jobs and bring even more manufacturing to America,” said Sabih Khan, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer. “This is part of our $600 billion commitment to the U.S. over the next four years, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of American innovation.”

In June, GF, in collaboration with key technology partners, announced plans to invest $16 billion to expand semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging at its plants in New York and Vermont. These efforts are supported by bold government policies and are consistent with their priorities to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI, including domestic semiconductor manufacturing for national security and supply chain security.
