Key Points
- Foxconn can now produce 1,000 AI racks per week and expects that rate to increase.
- The company is Nvidia’s main manufacturer of AI racks, benefiting from the data center boom.
- Foxconn is expanding beyond electronics into electric vehicles and quantum computing. The company plans to invest $2-3 billion annually in AI.
- A Foxconn unit will build Asia’s first GB300 AI data center in Taiwan, set to launch in 2026.
Foxconn Chairman Young Liu announced on Friday that the company can now manufacture 1,000 artificial intelligence racks per week, and he expects that number to increase next year. Liu made the remarks at the company’s tech day, an event attended by partners and clients like Nvidia and OpenAI.
Foxconn, best known as Apple’s top iPhone assembler, has been branching out beyond consumer electronics into new areas like electric vehicles (EVs) and AI data centers. The company is now Nvidia’s main manufacturer of AI racks—specialized server racks designed for AI workloads that hold chips, cables, and other equipment.
This has made Foxconn a major beneficiary of the current data center boom, as cloud companies spend billions to expand their AI infrastructure. Last week, Foxconn gave a positive outlook on AI-related demand, saying it would be a big driver of growth in 2026. Liu also told Reuters in an interview that Foxconn plans to invest $2 billion to $3 billion a year in AI.
At the tech day event, Liu also discussed the company’s progress in the EV market. He said that Foxconn’s EV production volumes are now high enough that automakers could start outsourcing more production to them. He added that the company is now working on quantum computing.
In a separate talk, Neo Yao, the CEO of a Foxconn unit, announced plans to deploy a 27-megawatt data center in the first half of 2026. This data center will feature Nvidia’s most advanced GB300 chips and will be the largest advanced GPU cluster in Taiwan and the first GB300 AI data center in Asia.
