Callaway invests $15M in Additive Manufacturing facility
Callaway Golf Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of golf clubs headquartered in Carlsbad, California, USA, has announced a $15 million investment in a new Additive Manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The move is aimed at expanding its advanced manufacturing and R&D capabilities, enabling the development of complex golf club designs and structures that cannot be produced using conventional manufacturing methods.
“At Callaway, we believe the greatest performance breakthroughs come from challenging the status quo,” stated Chip Brewer, President and CEO of Callaway Golf Company. “We believe 3D printing represents one of the most significant opportunities to advance golf club performance in decades, and we’re investing to lead that future.”
The investment follows approximately seven years of research and development in Additive Manufacturing. Since late 2022, Callaway has produced prototypes and custom models in-house, developing expertise in titanium AM. The new facility will establish dedicated US production capabilities to support the development of advanced designs and their subsequent manufacture.
Located adjacent to Callaway’s North America Distribution Center, the new facility is expected to become operational in mid-2027 and begin supporting a portion of the company’s US product requirements in 2028, initially focusing on custom titanium products.
“Nobody can create the next generation of performance by relying exclusively on yesterday’s methods,” Brewer continued. “We’re building capabilities that give our engineers the freedom to pursue ideas that simply weren’t possible before. This isn’t just an investment in manufacturing. It’s an investment in the breakthroughs that will define the future of our products and our brand.”
