Wistron has opened its first US manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, where it has begun mass production of NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip as part of a $700m investment aimed at strengthening domestic AI infrastructure manufacturing.
The 324,000-square-foot D1 facility will serve as a key hub in Wistron’s global AI manufacturing network and is expected to produce both the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and the next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip. The facility was officially opened by Wistron Chairman Simon Lin and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, alongside local government representatives and Taiwanese officials.
Wistron said the plant has been designed as an AI-powered smart factory, using NVIDIA accelerated computing alongside digital twin technology, AI models and industrial software to optimise factory design, production workflows and operational efficiency.
The investment marks the Taiwanese manufacturer’s first production site in the United States and reflects growing efforts to localise AI hardware manufacturing as demand for advanced computing infrastructure accelerates.
“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.”

The company said Texas was selected because of its established manufacturing ecosystem, skilled workforce and logistics network, allowing Wistron to manufacture AI systems closer to customers while improving supply chain resilience. The Fort Worth facility will assemble and test NVIDIA AI systems that can be deployed as part of NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure platform, helping expand domestic manufacturing capacity for advanced AI hardware.
Wistron said establishing manufacturing and after-sales support in the US would shorten delivery times, improve customer support and strengthen the resilience of AI supply chains as demand for AI infrastructure continues to grow.
Huang said manufacturers would play a central role in supporting what he described as an unprecedented expansion of AI infrastructure.
“The largest infrastructure buildout in history is underway,” he said. “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.”
The company also said the facility has been designed with energy optimisation in mind, using AI-driven planning tools to better manage production loads and electricity demand as manufacturing scales.
Lin said the investment demonstrates Wistron’s ambition to combine global manufacturing experience with local production capabilities to support the next phase of AI infrastructure development. “We don’t just need to build fast; we need to build right,” he said.
