The deal
- Broadcom will expand and modernize its Fort Collins, Colo., facility with a $1.5 billion capital investment.
- The plant will make advanced radio frequency components, including FBAR filters, and wireless connectivity technology for Apple devices.

Why it matters for Made in USA
Apple’s products are still assembled overseas, but more of the chips inside them will come from USA fabs. Building a domestic supply of components is a step toward more USA content in consumer electronics, which today rely heavily on Asian suppliers. Related: Apple’s $600 billion manufacturing program.
