Wistron Opens $700M Texas Plant to Build NVIDIA GB300 and Vera Rubin AI Systems

Wistron officially opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the start of volume production of NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and establishing what will become one of NVIDIA’s primary U.S. manufacturing sites for next-generation AI systems. The US$700 million facility spans approximately 324,000 square feet (about 30,100 square meters) and serves as a cornerstone of Wistron’s AI infrastructure manufacturing strategy. NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined Wistron Chairman Simon Lin, local officials, and representatives from Taiwan at the opening ceremony, where the companies also confirmed that production of NVIDIA’s upcoming Vera Rubin Superchip will follow at the site.

The Fort Worth facility functions as a digitally designed AI factory built using NVIDIA accelerated computing along with NVIDIA Omniverse, Metropolis, Nemotron, Cosmos, and PhysicsNeMo technologies to create a digital twin before construction began. Wistron said the approach enabled engineers to optimize factory layouts, validate manufacturing workflows, and train operators before physical production started. The plant currently operates dedicated manufacturing lines for GB300 systems while preparing additional capacity for Vera Rubin products. NVIDIA said the facility will scale to produce tens of thousands of advanced AI boards per month as demand for AI infrastructure continues to grow.

The investment also expands domestic AI manufacturing capacity in the United States. Wistron said the facility will assemble and test advanced NVIDIA AI systems while providing manufacturing and after-sales support closer to North American customers. The company expects the Texas operation to become the center of its U.S. manufacturing network, strengthening supply chain resilience and reducing delivery times for AI infrastructure deployments. NVIDIA noted that the project supports its previously announced goal of manufacturing up to $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the United States.

• Wistron invested US$700 million in the Fort Worth facility.
• Factory size totals approximately 324,000 square feet (30,100 square meters).
• Production has begun for NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip systems.
• Future production will include NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchips.
• Facility was digitally designed using NVIDIA Omniverse, Nemotron, Cosmos, Metropolis, and PhysicsNeMo technologies.
• Plant is expected to scale to tens of thousands of AI boards per month.
• More than 500 employees have already been hired, with plans to reach approximately 1,000 by year-end.
• Facility supports NVIDIA’s broader initiative to manufacture up to $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the United States.

“The largest infrastructure buildout in history is underway,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Demand for AI factories—the engine of this next industrial revolution—is incredible, and they must be produced everywhere. Together, NVIDIA and Wistron are restoring U.S. advanced manufacturing capacity in Texas, creating skilled jobs and strengthening America’s AI supply chain.”

🌐 Analysis: The Fort Worth facility represents another milestone in NVIDIA’s effort to localize AI infrastructure manufacturing in the United States. Rather than focusing solely on semiconductor fabrication, NVIDIA and its manufacturing partners are building domestic capacity for complete AI systems, including board assembly, system integration, testing, and AI factory production. Wistron joins Foxconn and other major manufacturing partners expanding U.S. operations as hyperscalers race to deploy ever-larger AI clusters.

The timing also aligns with NVIDIA’s transition from Blackwell to the upcoming Vera Rubin platform. By preparing manufacturing lines for both GB300 and Vera Rubin products, Wistron aims to shorten deployment cycles for future AI factories while increasing supply chain resilience. Texas continues to emerge as a major AI manufacturing hub, with investments spanning AI systems, advanced networking, power infrastructure, cooling technologies, and semiconductor manufacturing.
