Wistron opens $700 million Texas factory to mass-produce Nvidia's GB300 AI servers

Taiwan’s Wistron Corp. opened its first US manufacturing facility, a $700 million plant in Fort Worth, Texas, to assemble and mass-produce Nvidia’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip AI servers, Nvidia said.

The roughly 324,000-square-foot “D1” smart factory adds domestic capacity for the servers that run large AI models, at a moment when the Trump administration is pressing chipmakers and their suppliers to build in the US. Production will scale to tens of thousands of computing boards per month, and Wistron plans to add production of Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip, the company said.

The plant has created more than 500 jobs so far and is expected to reach 1,000 by year-end, according to Nvidia.

Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang and Wistron chairman Simon Lin led the opening ceremony. “Manufacturing is an essential pillar for every economy and every country,” Huang said.

Investors welcomed the move: Wistron shares rose about 9.7% in Taiwan trading after the announcement.

The factory is one node in a broader effort to bring AI-server assembly onshore, and the job and output figures are the company’s own targets rather than delivered results. Whether Wistron hits its 1,000-job and tens-of-thousands-of-boards goals will show how quickly US-based assembly can ramp against the entrenched Asian supply chain.
