Apptronik Partners With Jabil, Paving the Way for Humanoid Apollo to Help Build Itself
Apptronik announced a pilot partnership with U.S.-based Jabil on Feb. 25, 2025. Apollo will perform tasks such as sorting and moving parts at Jabil’s factories. If its commercial viability is confirmed, Jabil will produce Apollo at its own factories, bringing closer the prospect of humanoid robots manufacturing themselves.

TechCrunch reported on Feb. 25, 2025, that Apptronik had announced a pilot partnership with U.S.-based Jabil.
Why it matters
For Apptronik, the partnership will put Apollo to work on repetitive tasks such as sorting and moving parts in factories and help validate the robot for mass production. For Jabil, it will test the conditions for eventually making Apollo at its own factories, exploring how robots might not only be used in factories but also help manufacture them.
