Another North Texas tech win: Foxlink to bring major investment to Fort Worth days after LITEON’s McKinney plans were announced.
FORT WORTH, Texas — In another major win for the North Texas technology sector, Foxlink Group has announced the launch of its first U.S. AI factory in Fort Worth.
The Taiwan-based global manufacturer, which has nearly four decades of experience producing high-precision components, is officially shifting from a traditional electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider to an AI-powered manufacturer.
This story continues below.
Foxlink is introducing its “AI Factory” model to connect computing power directly to the factory floor. The Fort Worth facility will use this model to bring “Physical AI” to its production lines, focusing on surface mount technology (SMT) and final assembly, testing, and packaging (FATP) processes. These AI-driven automations are designed to improve production flexibility and reduce changeover costs.
“Foxlink’s forty years of manufacturing experience and our footprint across global industrial sites are the real capital behind this transformation,” Freddy Kuo, CEO of Foxlink Group, said in a statement. “We are turning that experience into real AI capability. This is not just an upgrade to a production line, it’s a redefinition of how a manufacturer operates.”
The facility is built to respond directly to growing customer demand in North America for localized, resilient supply chains, especially as rising labor costs and supply chain disruptions affect global manufacturing.
The announcement marks another massive technology milestone for North Texas. It comes just days after Taiwan-based LITEON announced it will establish its new North American advanced manufacturing headquarters and campus in McKinney. That project, representing a $919 million investment, will create at least 600 jobs. LITEON, known as the first listed electronics company in Taiwan, specializes in the design and manufacture of AI power and infrastructure-related solutions.
