Global tech company chooses Fort Worth for AI supercomputer components factory
A tech manufacturer is bringing hundreds of new jobs to Fort Worth.
Taiwan-based Wistron Corporation selected two sites in far north Fort Worth to build a factory that will make components for artificial intelligence super computers, according to a press release Thursday from the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership.
The two plants, which will cover a combined 1.1 million square feet, will be at 15200 Heritage Parkway and 14601 Mobility Way.
The company chose Fort Worth after considering setting up shop in El Paso, Nashville, and Fremont, California.
“After a thorough evaluation of key factors such as talent availability, robust logistics infrastructure, and a vibrant industrial ecosystem, Fort Worth, Texas, emerged as the optimal choice,” said Winstrom senior vice president Jackie Lai in the press release.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker celebrated the announcement arguing it’s proof of the city’s economic vitality.
“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 as well,” Parker said in the press release.
The announcement comes roughly two months after the Fort Worth City Council approved a 10-year tax abatement for the project.
The city will forgo a portion of the project’s property taxes provided Winstrom meets certain metrics including investing a minimum of $687 million in the project and creating 888 new jobs with a minimum annual salary of $63,000.
The city expects the project will generate $10.6 million in new taxable revenue when it’s finished.
Denton County also approved a tax package for the company valued at $5 million provided the factory is up and running by the end of 2026, and meets similar job and salary requirements.
Both sites are expected to be up and running by early 2026, according to the press release.
The two factory sites mark a pivotal milestone for Denton County, said County Judge Andy Eads in the press release.
“This project strengthens our role in the rapidly expanding semiconductor supply chain and brings tremendous economic opportunity to our region,” he said.
Wistron’s Fort Worth facilities will make components for supercomputers produced by AI-chip designer Nvidia.
The new plant is part of a larger movement to bring high tech manufacturing back to the United States amid intense competition with China.
