Jabil Inc., a global leader in engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions, has announced a substantial investment of $500 million to expand its manufacturing capabilities in the Southeast United States. This multi-year initiative is aimed at supporting cloud and AI data center infrastructure, enhancing Jabil's presence with new large-scale manufacturing capabilities, capital investments, and workforce development. The company, headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, already operates 30 sites across the country and is in the final stages of selecting a site for the expansion, expected to be operational by mid-2026. This move underscores Jabil's commitment to domestic manufacturing as both an economic and national security priority, building on its acquisition of New Hampshire-based Mikros Technologies.
