Wistron, a leading Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, announced on Friday that its newly planned manufacturing facilities in the United States for NVIDIA will become operational next year. The company´s CEO, Jeff Lin, stated these facilities are aligned with NVIDIA’s expectations and timeline, underlining Wistron´s commitment to customer-driven project development. This initiative will support NVIDIA’s strategy to build Artificial Intelligence servers domestically—a project anticipated to be worth billions of dollars over the next four years—as the company aims to bring more supercomputer manufacturing and AI-centric infrastructure to the U.S. market.
The planned U.S. facilities will be focused on producing high-performance computing equipment and products related to Artificial Intelligence. While Wistron is also in talks with other potential clients, specific names were not disclosed. The Dallas-based Wistron plant, developed alongside NVIDIA’s broader U.S. expansion, sits alongside another manufacturing venture with Foxconn in Houston—both sites are scheduled to increase production capacity within the next 12 to 15 months. The company’s board recently approved a significant investment (amount undisclosed in the public statement) to establish its new U.S. subsidiary, reflecting Wistron’s confidence in the growing American market for advanced server technologies.
Wistron’s CEO addressed questions surrounding U.S. restrictions on exporting advanced chips to China, noting the continued strength of demand in other regions, especially the Middle East. He highlighted that most developments in the Middle East involve indirect customers, indicating Wistron´s global supply chain significance. This follows a recent agreement between the UAE and the U.S. to establish the world’s largest Artificial Intelligence campus outside America, which may result in annual purchases of up to 500,000 of NVIDIA’s leading-edge AI chips from 2025 onward. Additionally, Wistron revealed it is evaluating the relocation of notebook manufacturing to Mexico, aiming to navigate tariff requirements under the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. These moves collectively signal Wistron´s escalating role in the global Artificial Intelligence and computing hardware supply chain.
