TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwanese companies Foxconn, Pegatron, and Quanta Computer are prepared to increase their investments in the US if Donald Trump’s reelection changes the country’s trade policies, Nikkei reported on Thursday (Nov. 14).
Foxconn Chair Young Liu (劉揚偉) said the company already has large production footprints in the US states of Texas, Wisconsin, and Ohio. He said the company is ready to invest further in the US.
"What we care more about is the overall investment policies, business environment, and opportunities rather than the election results. We will need to monitor the policies after the new administration takes office," Liu said at an investors conference. "We can very quickly adjust our investment if necessary."
"There will be certain growth for AI server-related products at our Wisconsin and Texas facilities, and there will be new clients at our Ohio plant as well.”
Liu said Foxonn has more than 5,000 workers in 50 manufacturing facilities in the US. He said the investments in the country have helped the company generate more than US$25 billion (NT$811.92) annually there.

Pegatron co-CEO Johnson Deng (鄧國彥), whose company is a key supplier to Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft, said the company can convert its facility in Indiana quickly to accommodate policy changes.
“However, currently, production costs are significantly higher in the US. If customers are willing to pay a premium, it remains a viable option,” he said.
President of Quanta subsidiary QCT Mike Yang (楊晴華) told reporters on the sidelines of an industry event that his company, which is a key supplier of Nvidia's AI servers, has manufacturing in California and is continuing to expand there. He said QCT has space to further expand “anytime” if needed.
“We also have a footprint in Thailand as well," Yang said.
Liu said Foxconn is confident about its leading role as an assembler of Nvidia’s AI servers. However, he acknowledged that Foxconn will not reach its target of a 5% global market share in electronic vehicles and reaching NT$1 trillion in auto-related revenue by next year.
"Our goals remain unchanged, but the 2025 timeframe will be postponed," Liu said.
