Judging from the amount breakdown, Tainan is the main site for this Taiwan expansion, accounting for over 九成, highlighting its key role in the AI server production footprint.

Mexico Simultaneously Expands Overseas Capacity

Hsinchu Real Estate Use Rights Quota of 28億 Counted Separately

In addition, Wistron’s board approved acquiring land and office-plant real estate use-right assets in Hsinchu within a limit of no more than 28億元, with plans to integrate leases and extend lease terms to meet operating needs. The company explained that the case is a real estate use-right asset, different in nature from the aforementioned new capital expenditure for building improvements, machinery and equipment, and capacity expansion, and should not be directly combined as AI server expansion investment.
