Built in Fort Worth: Wistron Opens Advanced Manufacturing Plant to Produce NVIDIA AI Systems

The AI era runs on AI infrastructure. Many of these advanced systems are built and tested in Texas.Wistron opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility today in Fort Worth — a 324,000-square-foot greenfield plant producing superchips at the heart of some of the world’s most capable AI systems.

In front of an audience of Wistron executives, Taiwan government officials and local Fort Worth leaders, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang took the stage with Wistron Chairman Simon Lin at the factory’s opening ceremony to talk about what it means to build the infrastructure for the AI era in America.

“Manufacturing is an essential pillar for every economy and every country,” Huang said. “Building chip plants, packaging plants, computer system plants like this, and AI factories all over the United States, has allowed the United States to really reindustrialize for the first time in a long time.”

The plant — Wistron’s D1 facility — currently runs two manufacturing cells: one producing the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and one that will produce the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip. D1 is scaling up this year to produce tens of thousands of boards per month of the most advanced technology in the industry.

Building AI at scale takes more than chips and code. It takes factories, supply chains and skilled workers — a domestic manufacturing base capable of building at volume and adapting as the technology moves. The Fort Worth plant is where that capacity takes shape.

A $700 Million Commitment

The state-of-the-art facility represents a $700 million commitment to advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and has created over 500 new jobs across the Texas facility, with plans to expand to 1,000 by the end of the year.

“It’s creating jobs in plumbing, construction, manufacturing and electricians,” Huang said. “So many different types of jobs here in the United States.”

“From the macro view of the whole AI world, down to community and country — it’s a great vision,” Lin s…
