`Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday said the company has started
`producing its next generation of personal computers in Austin.
`
`Cook’s announcement on Twitter confirms what was already widely thought in
`Central Texas and beyond — that Apple’s new Mac Pro was being produced at
`the Flextronics Americas factory in Northwest Austin.
`
`“We have begun manufacturing the Mac Pro in Austin,” Cook tweeted this
`morning. “It’s the most powerful Mac ever. Orders start tomorrow.”
`
`In October, Flextronics disclosed to Travis County officials that it planned to add
`879 jobs for a “next generation desktop computer.” The manufacturing firm,
`which already employs about 2,500 people in the area, could add another 815
`jobs if the project hits peak targets.
`
`Flextronics had disclosed its plans to the county while applying for designation as
`a foreign trade zone, which would provide it relief for some taxes on materials
`and inventories.
`
`At the time, local business leaders and government officials didn’t know — or
`declined to confirm — that the Flextronics project was the new Apple computer.
`
`However, most of them assumed that was the case. Apple had already announced
`plans to spend about $100 million to move the Mac Pro manufacturing to Texas,
`and siting production in Northwest Austin also would put Apple’s domestic
`manufacturing within 1 mile of its new Americas Operations Center.

`
`When complete, that center will oversee many of the Cupertino, Calif.-based
`company’s marketing, customer support, sales and logistics functions for the bulk
`of the Western Hemisphere. Apple already employs about 4,000 workers in the
`Austin area and could expand to include as many as 7,000 employees as the
`center expands over the next decade.
