TDK Corporation announced it will begin manufacturing advanced sensors for Apple products in the United States, marking a significant expansion of their long-standing partnership.
The initiative, part of Apple’s American Manufacturing Program, represents the first time a Japanese company will produce components for Apple within the U.S. It aims to strengthen supply chain resilience and enhance sensor production capabilities through closer Japan–U.S. collaboration.
TDK has worked with Apple for over 30 years on next-generation sensors, electronic components, and batteries. The new U.S.-based production is expected to support Apple’s efforts to increase domestic manufacturing while improving reliability and scalability of critical components.
Both companies highlighted the move as a strategic step to deepen collaboration and accelerate advanced manufacturing capabilities in the United States.
