Wistron opens $700M Texas factory for Nvidia AI superchips

On Tuesday, July 22, Taiwan's Wistron inaugurated a $700 million（約1100億円） manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to producing Nvidia's latest AI supercomputers. The plant manufactures the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has described as "the most powerful AI supercomputer in the world." This is the site where Nvidia's first GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip was built and mass-produced in the United States. Beyond the current GB300 line, Wistron said the factory will also manufacture Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip. According to Nvidia, the facility is expected to scale up production during the year to manufacture tens of thousands of computing boards per month. The plant has already created more than 500 jobs and is on track to expand its workforce to 1,000 employees by year-end. Nvidia positioned the Fort Worth plant as part of its larger $500 billion（約80兆円） U.S. investment commitment announced in 2025, underscoring the centrality of domestic AI manufacturing to its strategy amid soaring demand for advanced AI infrastructure.

Wistron's $700 million（約1100億円） Texas facility represents a major expansion of AI manufacturing capacity in the United States. As a key Nvidia supplier, Wistron is moving production of the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip—which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has positioned as the industry's most advanced AI supercomputer—from Taiwan to U.S. soil for the first time at scale. This shift reflects both Nvidia's massive investment commitments in the U.S. (part of its $500 billion（約80兆円） pledge announced in 2025) and the broader strategy by Taiwanese electronics makers to localize production closer to demand and reduce supply-chain risk. The factory's expected output of tens of thousands of computing boards per month signals confidence in sustained demand for AI infrastructure, while the planned workforce expansion from over 500 to 1,000 employees by year-end underscores the scale of the ramp-up.
