Overview
- Wistron formally unveiled its D1 smart manufacturing plant in Fort Worth on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, in a ceremony attended by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Wistron chairman Simon Lin.
- The 324,000-square-foot facility already produces NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and has a manufacturing cell planned for the next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip.
- Wistron said it built and fully simulated the factory in a digital twin using NVIDIA tools such as Nemotron, Cosmos and Omniverse to validate line layouts and train workers before hardware arrived.
- Company statements report the site has created about 500 jobs and plans to grow to roughly 1,000 employees and to scale output to tens of thousands of boards per month this year, but those targets remain company projections and are not independently verified.
- The plant is part of NVIDIA’s wider U.S. manufacturing push and illustrates a broader trend of Taiwanese electronics firms locating advanced assembly in the United States to shorten supply chains and speed delivery of large AI systems.
