Jabil announced plans to invest $500 million over the next several years to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint to support the growing demand for cloud and AI data center infrastructure. The investment will establish new large-scale production capabilities in the Southeastern U.S., with site selection nearing completion and operations expected to begin by mid-2026.
The expansion builds on Jabil’s existing network of 30 U.S. sites and follows its recent acquisition of Mikros Technologies, a specialist in liquid cooling and thermal management for AI data centers and semiconductor applications. The new facilities will enhance Jabil’s capabilities in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and automation to help address critical hardware demands for AI and cloud platforms.
Positioning itself as a strategic U.S.-based supplier for the AI-driven data center market, Jabil aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing capacity for key customers amid increasing concerns over supply chain security and geopolitical volatility.
