Callaway Plans $15M 3D-Printing Facility in Fort Worth
The facility will start with custom titanium club parts, become operational in mid-2027 and supply part of Callaway's U.S. product needs from 2028.
Callaway Golf Co. will invest $15 million in an advanced 3D-printing manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, the company announced Nov. 6. The plant will be built next to Callaway's North America Distribution Center and is expected to be operational in mid-2027.
The Carlsbad, California-based company said the facility will initially focus on custom titanium products and will begin supplying part of its U.S. product needs in 2028. Output will start in small batches rather than full-volume production. The company has not disclosed the plant's address, size, job count or any public incentives, and no state construction filing for the plant has been found.
Additive manufacturing and production plans
"Nobody can create the next generation of performance by relying exclusively on yesterday's methods," Chief Executive Chip Brewer said. He has described 3D printing as "one of the most significant opportunities to advance golf club performance in decades."
Callaway has about seven years of research and development in additive manufacturing behind the move. It has printed prototypes and custom models in-house since late 2022. The Fort Worth plant would be its first facility built to produce 3D-printed club components for sale in the U.S. The company has also invested more than $100 million in its golf ball plant in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
Location and construction details remain open
Callaway identifies the new facility only as adjacent to its North America Distribution Center. An earlier state filing for separate embroidery work in the north Fort Worth area does not establish the site, scope or delivery team for this 3D-printing investment. A project-specific filing or company construction announcement would be needed to resolve those details.
The company now operates as Callaway Golf Co. It has not said when construction will begin or who will build the plant.
