Jabil Plans Multiyear $500 Million Investment in US Manufacturing
Company to build new assembly plant to address needs for cloud and AI data center infrastructure.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL—Electronics manufacturer Jabil Inc. will invest approximately $500 million over the next several years to expand its footprint in the southeast United States to support cloud and AI data center infrastructure customers.
The investment will include a new U.S. assembly plant. Jabil is in the final stages of site selection and expects it to be operational by mid-2026.
“To secure America’s future in artificial intelligence, it’s crucial that we build the hardware that powers AI innovation right here at home. Domestic manufacturing isn’t just an economic priority; it’s a matter of national security. We’re proud to expand Jabil’s U.S. factory network, scaling our capabilities to better support the growing needs of our data center customers,” said Matt Crowley, executive vice president of global business units at Jabil.
The investment builds on Jabil’s recent acquisition of New Hampshire-based Mikros Technologies, a leading provider of liquid cooling and thermal management technology. Mikros serves a wide range of industries, including AI data center infrastructure, energy storage and semiconductor testing.
“This initiative is a key element of our long-term strategy to diversify our commercial portfolio and strengthen Jabil’s presence in the U.S.,” said Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor. “While the geopolitical landscape remains dynamic, our position as a U.S.-based company with a significant domestic footprint enables us to help the world’s leading brands navigate
challenges with agility and resilience.”
Based in St. Petersburg, Jabil has 30 manufacturing sites across the United States.Looking for quick answers on assembly and manufacturing topics? Try Ask ASM, our new smart AI search tool. Ask ASM
