Wistron has opened its D1 AI smart facility in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the company’s first manufacturing site in the United States and the first U.S. production and assembly location for the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip. The new site represents a $700 million investment, spans roughly 324,000 square feet, and has created more than 500 jobs so far, a figure Wistron expects to reach 1,000 by the end of the year. It expands Wistron’s footprint in AI infrastructure manufacturing and adds domestic capacity for NVIDIA-based systems.
The facility opening was led by Wistron Chairman Simon Lin and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, with local and Taiwanese government representatives also in attendance. For Wistron, the Fort Worth plant serves as a strategic extension of its global manufacturing network and a key U.S. node for advanced AI system production.
At launch, the site is producing the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, with plans to add the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip. Wistron characterized the plant as a high-tech manufacturing operation built to support next-generation AI infrastructure rather than conventional server assembly. The company said the Texas facility is intended to serve local customers while expanding domestic assembly and test capacity for advanced NVIDIA platforms.
The Fort Worth location also reflects a broader shift in how AI infrastructure is built and delivered. Wistron is using NVIDIA accelerated computing and software, including the Nemotron and Cosmos models, along with the Omniverse and Metropolis libraries, to support digital twin-based factory design, workflow simulation, and operational optimization. That approach is intended to improve plant layout, process flow, and efficiency as production scales.
Wistron selected Texas as a manufacturing hub based on its logistics position, workforce access, and advanced industrial base. By placing AI servers and superchip assemblies closer to U.S. end markets, the company is aiming to shorten delivery cycles, improve regional support, and strengthen supply chain resilience for AI infrastructure deployments. The company is also building the site as part of a broader operational ecosystem that includes manufacturing and after-sales support.
Addressing Large-Scale AI Deployment
NVIDIA framed the announcement within the larger expansion of AI factory infrastructure, noting that demand for large-scale AI deployment platforms continues to accelerate. The two companies said the Texas operation is part of a broader effort to rebuild advanced manufacturing capacity in the U.S. while supporting skilled job growth and the development of a domestic AI supply chain.
Energy planning and factory efficiency were also central to the launch. Wistron said the Fort Worth facility is built around digital manufacturing and local operations, with an emphasis on energy optimization and smarter control of plant power requirements. As advanced manufacturing demand increases in Texas, that level of visibility and flexibility is expected to play an increasingly important role in plant operations.
Top Location for AI Infrastructure Manufacturing
Simon Lin said the Fort Worth site will become a major location for AI infrastructure manufacturing in the U.S. over the next several years. He also emphasized that the pace of the AI market increases the importance of execution quality and responsible development alongside speed.
The company said the Fort Worth plant will act as the central hub for its U.S. manufacturing strategy, linking domestic operations with Wistron’s broader global production network and ecosystem partners. The investment is intended to deepen Wistron’s technical capabilities, improve supply chain efficiency and resilience, and position the company for the next phase of AI infrastructure growth.
