Apple pledges up to $100 million for U.S. titanium as it expands domestic production
Apple announced a three-year agreement to buy up to $100 million of titanium from Pennsylvania-based Perryman Company, part of its effort to grow U.S. manufacturing.
Apple confirmed a three-year contract to purchase up to $100 million of titanium from the Perryman Company in Houston, Pennsylvania, as it pushes to increase domestic component sourcing. The titanium, processed with a minimum of 80 % recycled material, will be used in devices like the forthcoming foldable iPhone Duo. The company also broadened its partnership with Qnity Electronics in Delaware to produce films for the variable-aperture camera system in the iPhone 18 Pro.
Apple highlighted that almost 100 parts for these models are now made by American suppliers in over a dozen states. Additional U.S. manufacturing milestones include TSMC’s Arizona chip plant slated to produce more than 100 million Apple chips in 2026 and Corning’s Kentucky plant supplying all cover glass for iPhones and Apple Watches by year-end. The initiative builds on Apple’s American Manufacturing Program launched last year as part of a $600-billion, four-year commitment to U.S. production.
Why it matters
The deal boosts U.S. supply chains and underscores Apple’s strategy to localize production of key smartphone components.
