Callaway Golf (CALY ) announced on November 6, 2026 that it will invest $15 million in an advanced 3D-printing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, a project intended to expand its titanium research and manufacturing capabilities and establish dedicated U.S. production.
The company expects the facility, located adjacent to its North America Distribution Center, to become operational in mid-2027 and begin supporting a portion of its U.S. product needs in 2028. The initial focus on custom titanium products gives the production ramp-up a defined, limited starting scope.
Moving Titanium Printing Into Production
The Fort Worth site is intended to give Callaway’s engineers greater freedom to develop complex designs and structures that cannot be achieved through conventional manufacturing methods. Callaway expects those capabilities to create opportunities for meaningful improvements in golf-club performance and accelerate the development of future innovations.
The investment builds on approximately seven years of additive-manufacturing research and development. Since late 2022, Callaway has produced prototypes and custom models internally while developing specialized titanium 3D-printing expertise. The new facility is intended to connect that development experience with dedicated production, carrying advanced designs from concept to physical products in the United States.
President and CEO Chip Brewer framed the spending as a product-development decision as well as a manufacturing one: “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.”
A Wider U.S. Manufacturing Commitment
The Fort Worth project extends Callaway’s U.S. manufacturing spending beyond clubs. The company has invested more than $100 million over the past several years in its golf-ball manufacturing operations in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It presents the Texas and Massachusetts investments as a long-term commitment to developing proprietary technologies, expanding American manufacturing expertise and creating golf equipment with meaningful performance advantages for golfers.
The announcement followed Callaway’s third-quarter results, released November 5, 2026, which provide a limited financial backdrop. Capital expenditures were $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $22.9 million in the corresponding 2025 period. Those companywide historical figures provide context for the project’s scale rather than a Fort Worth spending schedule. At that date, Callaway reported $434 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $76 million of debt outstanding, including $26 million of financing leases.
Callaway identifies uncertainty around completing the facility, establishing 3D-printing production in commercial quantities and the timing of both, alongside raw-material and component availability, possible actions by the United States Golf Association or other golf associations, consumer acceptance and demand, and intellectual-property protection.
The immediate question is therefore not whether additive manufacturing can support prototypes and custom models; Callaway has already done that work internally. It is whether the company can turn that experience into dependable commercial production on the stated timetable. Commissioning Fort Worth and progressing from its limited custom-product scope will show how effectively Callaway can convert its manufacturing spending into the design freedom and product advances it is seeking.
