Wistron, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer that builds server hardware for Nvidia, has opened its first factory on American soil, a $700 million plant in Fort Worth, Texas, that is already assembling Nvidia’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra superchips.
The site held its grand opening on 21 July, and Nvidia says it is the first place the GB300 has been built and mass-produced in the United States.
The chip is the current flagship of Nvidia’s data centre line, and Fort Worth will eventually turn out its successor too: the Vera Rubin superchips due to follow Blackwell. It is a notable vote of confidence in US-made chips, a category that a year ago barely existed at this scale.
The launch sits inside a much larger onshoring push. Nvidia committed in 2025 to half a trillion dollars of American manufacturing and AI infrastructure over four years, and its suppliers have been following the money to Texas.
Wistron’s plant is one of the more concrete results, a working factory rather than a memorandum of understanding.
