Taiwanese contract electronics manufacturer Pegatron said its first factory in the United States should be completed by the end of March. The company expects trial production to begin shortly after construction work finishes. The site is located in Texas and marks Pegatron’s first manufacturing plant built and operated in the U.S.

Company president Kuang-Chih Cheng told reporters that final construction work remains on schedule. He added that trial output could start in late March or early April, depending on final inspections and equipment installation.

🇺🇸 Texas Facility Focuses on AI Servers

The Texas plant will manufacture AI server products, including systems that use advanced chips supplied by Nvidia. Demand for such equipment has increased as artificial intelligence adoption expands across industries. Therefore, Pegatron sees the new facility as an important step in meeting customer needs.

By producing AI servers locally, Pegatron aims to strengthen supply reliability for major clients. The move also helps reduce delivery times and logistical complexity.

📍 Land Purchase and Investment Timeline

Pegatron purchased the Texas land and factory building in October last year. Since then, the company has worked to prepare the site for production, including equipment installation and workforce planning. The company did not disclose the total investment value.

Other Taiwanese technology firms have also expanded operations in Texas. These include Foxconn, Inventec and Wistron, which have announced manufacturing or support facilities in the state.

🔧 Diversifying Global Manufacturing

Pegatron has continued efforts to diversify its manufacturing footprint beyond China. In recent years, the company expanded operations in Southeast Asia and Mexico. The Texas plant adds another strategic location to that network.

In addition, Pegatron operates a maintenance centre in Indiana and maintains a corporate office in California. These sites support customer operations and technical services in the U.S. market.

🤖 Shift Reflects Industry Trends

Pegatron’s U.S. expansion reflects a broader trend among global technology suppliers. Many firms now seek production sites closer to key customers. At the same time, companies aim to reduce geopolitical and supply-chain risks.

Government policies in the United States and Taiwan have also encouraged increased investment. Officials from both sides have promoted cooperation in technology, energy and artificial intelligence development.

🌐 Trade and Investment Context

Recently, the United States and Taiwan agreed on a large trade and investment framework. Under the agreement, Taiwanese companies plan to invest $250 billion in U.S. projects covering semiconductors, energy and AI systems. The framework also reduced tariffs on several U.S. imports from Taiwan.

These measures may further support Taiwanese manufacturers that plan to expand production in the U.S.

🔮 Next Steps for Pegatron

Once trial production begins, Pegatron will evaluate output stability and quality control. The company expects the plant to ramp up gradually as customer demand grows. Executives said the facility will play a key role in Pegatron’s long-term manufacturing strategy.
