What timelines are indicated for the rollout of equipment to TI’s U.S. factories and the new Arizona facility?

Answer

The news release does not specify any concrete dates or time‑frames for either of the two initiatives:

Initiative	Timeline Mentioned in the Release
Supply of equipment to TI’s U.S. factories	The release only states that Applied Materials will “supply American‑made chip‑making equipment from Austin, Texas to TI’s U.S. factories.” No target start‑date, delivery schedule, or completion window is provided.
Construction of the new Arizona manufacturing facility	It notes that Applied Materials will “invest more than $200 million in Arizona to establish a state‑of‑the‑art facility for manufacturing critical components for semiconductor equipment.” Again, there is no mention of when the facility will break ground, begin production, or be fully operational.

What we can infer from the surrounding context

The announcement is part of a broader, multi‑year U.S. investment effort: Applied Materials has already spent more than $400 million on U.S. equipment‑manufacturing infrastructure over the past five years. This suggests the company is continuing a long‑term expansion strategy, but the press release does not translate that into a specific rollout calendar for the new projects.
The partnership with Apple and Texas Instruments is framed as a current, ongoing effort (“is working with Apple and Texas Instruments to bolster the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain in the United States”), implying that equipment deliveries and the Arizona plant are expected to happen in the near term, but the exact timing is left unspecified.

Bottom line

Based solely on the information provided in the GlobeNewswire summary, there are no explicit timelines given for:

When the equipment will be rolled out to TI’s U.S. factories, and
When the Arizona facility will be built, start production, or reach full capacity.

If precise scheduling is required, you would need to consult the full press release, any accompanying investor‑relations presentations, or follow‑up communications from Applied Materials for further detail.
