Below are some of the plans flagged by those companies.

LAVAZZA

The Italian coffee maker will press ahead with its U.S. expansion, it said in April. Lavazza, which produces locally around half of what it sells in the U.S., plans to increase this output to 100%.

STELLANTIS ( STLA )

The automaker behind brands such as Chrysler, Jeep and Peugeot announced a $13 billion investment in the U.S. on October 14, which it said would bring five new models to the market and add 5,000 jobs in plants across the Midwest over the next four years.

TSMC

The Taiwanese chipmaker is expanding investment in the U.S., planning to build five chip facilities there in coming years, its CEO said in March.

VOLKSWAGEN

Volkswagen's Audi brand will expand production in North America with a focus on its most important cars for the U.S. market and will make a decision on where to base itself this year, Audi CEO said in February.

VW CFO said in January it planned to produce more in the U.S.
