Wistron Corporation, global industry experts in information and communications technology products, AI infrastructure and advanced manufacturing, has opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The approximately 324,000-square-foot facility represents a $700 million investment in advanced U.S. manufacturing. The facility is producing advanced AI computing systems for NVIDIA and is expected to support Wistron’s continued expansion of U.S.-based assembly, testing and customer-service capabilities. 

Wistron Chairman Simon Lin and NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang led the facility’s opening ceremony. Fort Worth economic development officials, Taiwan’s representative to the United States and other government and technology-sector leaders also attended. The facility is the site where the first NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip was built and mass-produced in the United States. Wistron is also preparing the plant for future production of NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip.

“The operation here is not typical manufacturing. It is new, very comprehensive, and high-tech. Right now we produce the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Superchip, and beyond, we are also going to produce the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip here. In the next couple of years, this location will be one of the most important, as we build AI infrastructure here in the United States. I think this is the reason we say that there will be the next chapter, and we are going to empower AI from Texas,” said Wistron Chairman Simon Lin.

The Fort Worth facility currently operates two manufacturing cells. One is producing the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, while the second is being prepared for Vera Rubin production. Wistron expects the plant to scale during 2026 to manufacture tens of thousands of advanced computing boards each month. The investment has created more than 500 jobs at the Texas facility. Wistron and NVIDIA expect that figure to increase to approximately 1,000 positions by the end of 2026 as production expands.

Wistron designed and simulated the factory virtually before construction began. Its digital-twin environment incorporates NVIDIA accelerated computing, open AI models and simulation libraries to evaluate production layouts, refine workflows and improve operational efficiency before changes are introduced on the physical factory floor. The company is using the virtual environment to validate assembly-line configurations, optimize manufacturing processes and support employee training. This approach allows production teams to assess potential changes digitally before interrupting or modifying live operations.

The new Wistron facility integrates NVIDIA Nemotron and Cosmos open frontier models with Omniverse and Metropolis libraries. Wistron is applying these technologies across factory planning, simulation, production management and energy optimization.

By expanding its AI server manufacturing capabilities from Taiwan into the United States, Wistron is seeking to provide customers with shorter delivery timelines, more responsive after-sales service and greater supply-chain flexibility. The company will assemble and test AI systems in Fort Worth for deployment within large-scale data center and AI factory infrastructure. The locally based operation is intended to support customers as demand increases for advanced computing systems capable of training and running increasingly complex AI models.

“The largest infrastructure buildout in history is underway. Demand for AI factories—the engine of this next industrial revolution—is incredible, and they must be produced everywhere. Together, NVIDIA and Wistron are restoring US advanced manufacturing capacity in Texas, creating skilled jobs and strengthening America’s AI supply chain,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA.

The Fort Worth plant expands an upstream portion of the U.S. AI infrastructure supply chain by adding domestic capacity for advanced system assembly and testing. Wistron will connect the operation with its international production network and technology partners as it increases output. The company also plans to coordinate factory energy use with production demand. More detailed planning of manufacturing loads and electricity requirements is intended to provide the facility with greater flexibility as AI-system production increases.

“In the AI era, the pressure of speed is also a form of responsibility,” Lin said. “We don’t just need to build fast; we need to build right.”

The facility will serve as the core of Wistron’s U.S. manufacturing operations, combining advanced production, testing and after-sales support within a more localized operating structure. Wistron said the investment is intended to deepen its AI infrastructure manufacturing capabilities, improve global supply-chain resilience and support the next phase of advanced computing deployment in the United States.
