Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Wistron on Tuesday opened a $700 million manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, to produce Nvidia artificial intelligence systems, according to Reuters. The launch comes as Asian electronics suppliers expand U.S. production capacity to support growing demand for AI infrastructure.

The Fort Worth facility manufactures Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang previously described the AI system built around the Grace Blackwell Ultra platform as "the most powerful AI supercomputer in the world," according to Reuters. Wistron confirmed that the site is where Nvidia's first GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip was built and mass-produced in the United States.

Wistron stated that the plant is also set to manufacture systems based on Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin platform as manufacturing expands. According to Nvidia, the site is expected to scale up operations throughout the year to manufacture tens of thousands of computing boards per month.

The Texas factory has created more than 500 jobs, with Nvidia confirming that the facility remains on track to expand its local workforce to 1,000 employees by the end of the year.

Nvidia said Wistron's Fort Worth plant forms part of the $500 billion U.S. investment commitment the chipmaker announced in 2025.

Wistron indicated that production lines will continue scaling through the remainder of the year to meet initial GB300 supply targets, with manufacturing of Vera Rubin systems scheduled to follow as deployment progresses.
