Built in Fort Worth: Wistron Opens Advanced Manufacturing Plant to Produce NVIDIA AI Systems

The AI era runs on AI infrastructure. Many of these advanced systems are built and tested in Texas.

Wistron opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility today in Fort Worth - a 324,000-square-foot greenfield plant producing superchips at the heart of some of the world's most capable AI systems.

In front of an audience of Wistron executives, Taiwan government officials and local Fort Worth leaders, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang took the stage with Wistron Chairman Simon Lin at the factory's opening ceremony to talk about what it means to build the infrastructure for the AI era in America.

Manufacturing is an essential pillar for every economy and every country, Huang said. Building chip plants, packaging plants, computer system plants like this, and AI factories all over the United States, has allowed the United States to really reindustrialize for the first time in a long time.

The plant - Wistron's D1 facility - currently runs two manufacturing cells: one producing the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and one that will produce the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Superchip. D1 is scaling up this year to produce tens of thousands of boards per month of the most advanced technology in the industry.

Building AI at scale takes more than chips and code. It takes factories, supply chains and skilled workers - a domestic manufacturing base capable of building at volume and adapting as the technology moves. The Fort Worth plant is where that capacity takes shape.

A $700 Million Commitment The state-of-the-art facility represents a $700 million commitment to advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and has created over 500 new jobs across the Texas facility, with plans to expand to 1,000 by the end of the year.

It's creating jobs in plumbing, construction, manufacturing and electricians, Huang said. So many different types of jobs here in the United States.

Inside Wistron's latest state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. From the macro view of the whole AI world, down to community and country - it's a great vision, Lin said. I think we're going to enjoy the next era of AI life. I hope that we will be happier and healthier.

NVIDIA has committed to manufacturing up to $500 billion in advanced AI platforms in the United States. The Wistron Fort Worth factory is one of the projects making that number real.

Building First in a Virtual World Wistron designed and fully simulated the entire facility before construction began in a digital twin built on NVIDIA's open platform, including Nemotron and Cosmos frontier models, Omniverse and Metropolis libraries, and open frameworks including PhysicsNeMo.

That enabled Wistron engineers to validate assembly line layouts, optimize production processes and train workers on standard operating procedures virtually - before any system came online in the real factory.

Winning Every Layer The AI era isn't just about chips - it's about winning at every layer of the stack, from semiconductors to systems to the factories that build them.

Just as agriculture is a fundamental infrastructure of society, in the future these AI factories will be a fundamental infrastructure of society, Huang said. Today we have roads and agriculture and railroads. In the future we'll have AI factories and the internet. Electricity comes in and the tokens get generated in the factories.

The ceremony included the unveiling of the first NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip produced on site, which Huang signed.

Huang described the system built around the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip as the most powerful AI supercomputer in the world.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang joined Wistron Chairman Simon Lin and other technology leaders at the opening of Wistron's new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. It has one-and-a-half million parts inside - two tons, 4 million dollars - and we're producing them like phones, right here in Wistron, cranking them out in volume because the world needs all of these machines to drive the intelligence infrastructure, Huang added.

Huang also sat down for interviews with Mike Allen of Axios and separately with Lana Ferguson of the Dallas Morning News - who also covered Coherent's groundbreaking of a new manufacturing facility in Sherman in June.

A new chapter of American manufacturing is taking shape in Fort Worth. Wistron's factory is part of NVIDIA's broader commitment to build in America, for America - strengthening U.S. supply chains, creating high-skilled jobs and giving American communities a direct role in building the future with AI.
