The advanced manufacturing facility will assemble and test NVIDIA AI systems. It represents a $761 million investment and will employ close to 1,000 people by the end of the year.
The facilities—Wistron's first in the U.S.—will create more than 800 full-time jobs, the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership said, firmly positioning Fort Worth "as a key player in the future of advanced technology manufacturing and the broader reshoring movement, bringing critical manufacturing, logistics and innovation back to the U.S."
The stealth-stage startup, led by tech entrepreneur John Lauer—who sold his last company for nearly $1 billion—is developing what it calls the world's first cloud-connected electronics prototyping factory. "This will be one of the most high-tech factories in the world," said Lauer.
