ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Jabil revealed plans to invest $500 million over the next several years to expand its manufacturing footprint in the Southeast US, supporting the growing needs of cloud and AI data center infrastructure customers.

The investment will fund large-scale manufacturing capabilities, capital equipment and workforce development, with operations expected to begin by mid-next-year at a site currently in final selection.

“This expansion ensures the hardware powering AI innovation is built domestically, supporting both economic priorities and national security,” said Matt Crowley, executive vice president, Global Business Units.

The move follows Jabil’s recent acquisition of Mikros Technologies. CEO Mike Dastoor emphasized the initiative aligns with Jabil’s long-term strategy to diversify its commercial portfolio and enhance its US presence amid a shifting geopolitical landscape.
