Wistron D1 Fort Worth AI Smart Factory

Wistron opened its D1 AI smart factory at 15200 Heritage Parkway in the AllianceTexas development in Fort Worth on July 21, 2026. The 324,000-square-foot D1 facility is allocated more than $580 million of Wistron's $761 million AllianceTexas project and assembles and tests NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and upcoming Vera Rubin Superchip AI systems. Direct permanent operating headcount at D1 is not separately disclosed in primary sources — the publicly reported 500-jobs figure describes an at-opening headcount that mixes construction, trades and manufacturing per NVIDIA's grand-opening coverage, and the announcement's 800/888 figures cover both AllianceTexas sites combined. AFT records the D1-specific investment and leaves jobs undisclosed pending a source that isolates permanent operating employment at D1.

Why this project qualifies

With $580 million in facility-specific investment, this project clears AFT's $100 million investment threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). This project also meets AFT's primary-source verification and physical U.S. manufacturing-footprint requirements.
