Fort Worth site manufactures GB300 and Vera Rubin systems

Wistron Corp., a Taiwanese supplier to Nvidia, opened a $700 million manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday to produce the chipmaker’s advanced AI superchips, the companies and the Wall Street Journal reported. The 324,000-square-foot plant is currently producing Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell chip modules and will also manufacture Vera Rubin products, the companies said.

The facility is part of Nvidia’s $500 billion commitment to invest in advanced AI platforms in the United States, according to the companies. The U.S.-based supply chain for Nvidia now spans chip design in California, fabrication at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s Arizona plant, and final assembly and testing at the Wistron facility in Texas, reflecting the Trump administration’s push to diversify AI supply chains from Asian sites, the Journal reported.

Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said at the opening ceremony that building computer-system plants like the Wistron site is helping the U.S. “really reindustrialize for the first time in a long time.” The companies showcased one of the GB300 superchip modules made at Fort Worth during the ceremony. “We’re producing them like phones…cranking them out in volume because the world needs all of these machines to drive the intelligence infrastructure,” Huang said.

The plant is expected to reach production of tens of thousands of boards per month later this year, according to the companies.

Wistron is one of several Taiwanese electronics firms that initially manufactured consumer products for tech companies including Apple and are now pivoting toward AI hardware, the Journal reported. Last week, TSMC announced an additional $100 billion investment in its Arizona fabrication operations. Other Taiwanese manufacturers have also concentrated operations in hubs across Texas and neighboring Mexican border cities to assemble AI chip modules and servers for North American tech giants, the Journal reported.

The company’s Taipei-listed shares rose by the daily limit of 10% on Wednesday, along with shares of its affiliated cloud-server manufacturer Wiwynn. Huang said “Taiwan is my largest trading partner,” according to the Journal.
