Foxconn Builds World's Largest NVIDIA GB200 Plant in Mexico to Meet AI Demand

Foxconn's parent company, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., revealed on October 8 that it is constructing the world's largest NVIDIA GB200 manufacturing facility in Mexico. This initiative aims to address the soaring demand for NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform.

Foxconn, renowned as the world’s largest electronics contract manufacturer and a key assembler of Apple’s iPhones, also has a significant footprint in server production. This aligns the company well to benefit from the artificial intelligence surge.

During Foxconn's annual Technology Day, Benjamin Ting, Senior Vice President of the Cloud Enterprise Solutions Business Group, stressed the critical collaboration with NVIDIA. He asserted, "We are building the planet's largest GB200 manufacturing plant," noting the immense demand for NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform.

Moreover, Chairman Liu Young-way highlighted the significant commercial value AI holds for enterprises, emphasizing how AI is redefining Foxconn’s manufacturing capabilities. He also proudly affirmed that Foxconn’s supply chain is fully prepared to support the AI evolution with advanced cooling and thermal technologies essential for GB200 server infrastructure.

Foxconn anticipates starting shipments of the highly sought NVIDIA GB200 chips in the fourth quarter of 2024. Nevertheless, Liu cautioned that the delivery might face slight delays due to unexpectedly high demand for AI servers.

This strategic cooperation with NVIDIA underscores Foxconn's endeavor to become a leader in producing and shipping these advanced AI components, including servers, modules, and data centers, laying the groundwork for the next phase of technological development.
