Apple announces the new Mac Pro will be produced in Texas, USA
As part of its commitment to US economic growth, Apple confirmed today that the new Mac Pro will be produced in Austin, Texas. The new Mac Pro was released at the WWDC in June this year and will soon be in volume production. This Austin-based facility has been the foundry of the Mac Pro since 2013.
The new Mac Pro will include components designed, developed and manufactured by more than a dozen US companies. Manufacturers and suppliers in Arizona, Maine, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Vermont. The cost of parts made in the new Mac Pro is 2.5 times that of Apple’s previous-generation Mac Pro.
Apple CEO Tim Cook:
The Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful computer ever and we’re proud to be building it in Austin. We thank the administration for their support enabling this opportunity. We believe deeply in the power of American innovation. That’s why every Apple product is designed and engineered in the US, and made up of parts from 36 states, supporting 450,000 jobs with US suppliers, and we’re going to continue growing here.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott:
Apple’s latest investment is a testament to Texas’ unrivaled workforce and premier business climate. Our state’s economy is thriving as the tech and manufacturing sectors continue to expand. I am grateful for Apple’s commitment to creating jobs in Texas, and will continue to promote fiscal and regulatory policies that encourage investment in our state and benefit future generations of Texans.
