Wistron’s first U.S. manufacturing site will be in Fort Worth, Texas.
Wistron, one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers, confirmed Tuesday that it will invest $761 million to establish two AI supercomputing facilities at AllianceTexas in Fort Worth — a move supported by major tax abatements from both the city of Fort Worth and Denton County.
In June, the Fort Worth City Council approved a tax abatement agreement with Wistron, offering up to an 80% abatement for one project site and 60% for the other over a 10-year period if both are completed. Denton County Commissioners also approved a package in July, providing up to $5 million in combined abatements over eight years.
“It’s go time in Fort Worth, and this investment from Wistron, which will create significant job growth and economic impact in our city, is just more proof,” said Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker in a statement. “Fort Worth is already at the forefront of aviation, energy, and logistics, and we are now positioned to lead in both AI and the future of advanced manufacturing.”
The two facilities will be located within Hillwood’s 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development. One site, at 14601 Mobility Way, will undergo $181 million in renovations to a 766,994-square-foot building. The primary site, at 15200 Heritage Parkway, will see more than $580 million in improvements to a 324,598-square-foot facility. Both are expected to be operational by early 2026.
“As Wistron continues to expand its AI-related product capabilities and align with our strategic roadmap, establishing manufacturing operations in the United States is a critical step,” said Jackie Lai, Wistron’s senior vice president of global manufacturing for American and European operations. “After evaluating talent, logistics, and the industrial ecosystem, Fort Worth emerged as the optimal choice to help us meet the needs of our customers and advance our global vision.”
Wistron Corporation is a Taiwan-headquartered manufacturer that designs, builds, and services information and communications technology hardware for global brands.
The company was established 2001 as a spin-off of Acer’s design and manufacturing unit. Simon Lin serves as chairman, and Jeff Lin is president and CEO. In 2024 Wistron reported $32 billion in revenue.
“What an amazing moment for the booming Fort Worth economy,” said Robert Allen, president and CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership. “These two new locations not only will create jobs but also help make Fort Worth a leader in AI. The future of manufacturing is going to be built right here in Fort Worth.”
Said Ross Perot Jr., chairman of Hillwood and the Perot Companies: “AllianceTexas is rapidly emerging as North Texas’ next-generation manufacturing and data-services corridor. Wistron’s decision reinforces America’s reshoring movement.”
