Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Wistron announced that its new U.S. manufacturing plants, dedicated in part to Nvidia’s server production, will be operational next year. These facilities are a key component of Nvidia’s broader initiative to build artificial intelligence (AI) servers in the United States, with a projected value of up to $500 billion over the next four years. The new plants are located in Texas, with Wistron’s site in Dallas and Foxconn’s in Houston, both expected to ramp up production within 12 to 15 months, aligning with Nvidia’s previously announced timelines.

Wistron’s CEO Jeff Lin emphasized that the company’s progress is closely tied to Nvidia’s strategic direction, stating that their advancements will mirror Nvidia’s plans. While Nvidia is the primary client for these new facilities, Wistron is also in talks with other potential customers interested in utilizing the U.S. sites for high-performance computing and AI-related products, though Lin did not disclose their identities. This move positions Wistron to expand its footprint in the U.S. technology manufacturing sector and diversify its client base.

The company’s board has approved a substantial investment of $500 million into its new U.S. subsidiary, aimed at supporting business development and strategic growth in the American market. This investment comes amid increasing U.S. restrictions on the export of advanced chips to China. Despite these constraints, Lin noted that demand for AI and computing products remains robust outside of China, particularly in regions like the Middle East, where many customers are considered indirect clients of Wistron and Nvidia.

In parallel, the United Arab Emirates and the U.S. recently signed an agreement for the Gulf nation to build the largest AI campus outside the United States, a deal potentially involving the purchase of 500,000 of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips annually starting in 2025. As the U.S. considers broader tariffs on trading partners, Wistron is also evaluating notebook production in Mexico to leverage tariff exemptions under the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
