Wistron opens Fort Worth plant for NVIDIA systems

Wistron opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, a 324,000-square-foot greenfield plant producing advanced systems built around NVIDIA superchips. NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined Wistron Chairman Simon Lin at the opening ceremony, where Huang framed domestic chip, packaging, computer system and AI factory construction as part of a broader U.S. reindustrialization effort.

The 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. The facility has created over 500 new jobs across the Texas site, with plans to expand to 1,000 by the end of the year.

Wistron designed and fully simulated the facility before construction in a digital twin built on NVIDIA’s open platform, using Nemotron, Cosmos, Omniverse, Metropolis and PhysicsNeMo. The approach let engineers validate assembly line layouts, optimize production processes and train workers virtually before factory systems came online.

The ceremony included the unveiling of the first NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip produced on site. Huang described the system built around the chip as having one-and-a-half million parts inside, weighing two tons and costing 4 million dollars, with Wistron producing it at volume in Fort Worth.
