Taiwan-based electronics maker Wistron on Tuesday announced the opening of its first U.S. manufacturing plant in Fort Worth, Texas, which will produce Nvidia “superchips” geared toward powering artificial intelligence applications.
The $700 million, 324,000-acre facility is “a key hub in Wistron's global AI infrastructure manufacturing network” and “strengthens a critical upstream layer” of the company’s AI infrastructure supply chain by expanding its ability to assemble and test Nvidia AI systems in the U.S., according to a news release.
The Fort Worth plant will “serve as the core engine of Wistron's U.S. manufacturing operations, connecting its global production network with ecosystem partners as it scales advanced AI manufacturing,” the company said.
Nvidia said in a news release that the plant has already created 500 new jobs, with plans to expand to 1,000 by the end of the year.
