Wistron Opens $700M Texas AI Factory for Nvidia

Taiwanese contract manufacturer Wistron opened its first U.S. facility in Fort Worth, Texas, a $700 million, 324,000-square-foot plant that currently produces Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and is slated to add the Vera Rubin Superchip. The project has boosted Wistron's stock by about 9.7% and positions the plant as a core engine of its American manufacturing operations, expanding domestic capacity for Nvidia's AI servers. The plant strengthens Nvidia's U.S. supply chain and supports its DSX-driven, energy-efficient AI factory initiative by enabling closer, faster production. Industry observers view the move as part of a broader trend of Taiwanese tech giants expanding manufacturing in the United States to meet surging AI infrastructure demand. The facility is expected to eventually produce next-generation chips and create hundreds to thousands of local jobs, signaling a shift in global AI hardware manufacturing and underscoring growing demand for AI factories worldwide. Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has highlighted the increasing demand for AI factories as the engine of the next industrial revolution.
