TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Wistron’s board approved an investment of US$455 million (NT$15.5 billion) in a US subsidiary to produce “Made in USA” servers on Tuesday.

The announcement came the same day as fellow Taiwanese computer and server OEM manufacturer, Quanta Computer, announced a NT$1.15 billion investment to expand US production. Both companies have adjusted their production layout due to Trump’s tariffs, per UDN.

With the new investment, Wistron will become the Taiwanese electronics firm with the largest investment in the US. The investment will be in its AI business, acquiring land and factory buildings at its Westport Plant in Dallas, Texas.

Part of the funds will be directed to acquiring equipment and improving buildings associated with the Eagle Plant in Dallas. To meet future after-sales service and business needs, Wistron's US subsidiary, WTX, also plans to lease a factory in Dallas.

Meanwhile, Quanta also announced its US subsidiary QMN spent approximately NT$1.15 billion this year to acquire machinery and equipment for its Fremont plant in California.

As Wistron is also increasing its presence in Mexico. Mexican subsidiary WIMX plans to invest approximately NT$1.2 billion to improve its Juarez plant and lease a new plant locally to expand its production capacity.

Wistron’s board voted to dispose of 69,260 remaining shares of Formosa Prosonic Industries Berhad (FPI), a major Malaysian-listed audio manufacturer, to realize profits, allowing the company to adjust the layout of AI server operations.

Other proposals approved by Wistron's board of directors include increasing the capital of Wistron Asset Management Company in response to the construction needs of the new headquarters in Neihu and establishing Wistron Venture Capital Company with an investment of no more than NT$3.5 billion to expand its venture capital operations.
