Wistron Opens a Fort Worth Plant for NVIDIA AI Systems
Wistron opened a 324,000-square-foot Fort Worth manufacturing facility on July 21. NVIDIA says the plant currently produces GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra systems and will add Vera Rubin Superchips, with a combined $700 million investment and more than 500 jobs announced for the site.
What happened and why it matters
AI capacity is becoming a manufacturing story: the bottleneck is also factories, packaging, skilled labour and supply-chain throughput.

What opened
Wistron opened its D1 facility in Fort Worth on July 21. NVIDIA says one manufacturing cell is producing the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and another is planned for Vera Rubin Superchips.
NVIDIA describes the site as 324,000 square feet, part of a combined $700 million advanced-manufacturing commitment, with more than 500 jobs already created and a plan to reach 1,000 by year end.
Why the plant is part of the AI stack
Training and inference capacity depends on complete systems arriving in volume, not only on a chip design being announced. Board assembly, testing, packaging, power delivery and worker training determine how quickly a platform becomes usable compute.
NVIDIA says Wistron simulated the facility as a digital twin before construction, using its own Omniverse, Cosmos and related libraries to validate layouts and train workers virtually.
Evidence boundary
The facility size, products, investment and job counts are from NVIDIA's July 21 account. The story does not independently verify production volumes, yields, customer allocation or the timetable for Vera Rubin output.
The digital-twin description is a company account of the design process, not an independent productivity study.
Evidence boundary
This page reports a dated event from a named primary source. Company specifications and adoption statements remain attributed claims unless independent evidence is cited above.
