In a strategic move marking a major Taiwan tech expansion, contract electronics manufacturer Pegatron has acquired a production facility in Georgetown, Texas. The company announced Tuesday that its U.S. subsidiary, Pegatron Technologies LLC, completed the purchase for NT$900 million (US$29 million).
The new site spans 12.52 acres in Blue Springs Business Park. Pegatron plans to use the facility for manufacturing and operations serving American clients. This investment underscores Pegatron’s effort to deepen ties with U.S. customers and navigate rising global trade tensions.
Executives said the facility would support key sectors, including servers and automotive electronics. However, analysts believe the plant may later expand to cover Pegatron’s full product range.
Cheng Kuang-chih, Pegatron’s co-CEO, said the company weighed several factors when selecting the Texas location. He cited land affordability, labor costs, reliable electricity, and proximity to other tech companies as crucial advantages.
This Taiwan tech expansion aligns with shifting global supply chains and growing interest from Taiwanese firms in U.S.-based production. Pegatron’s move comes at a time when tech companies aim to diversify their manufacturing bases away from Asia.
The Texas facility is expected to begin operations in 2026. Once active, it will help Pegatron increase its manufacturing capacity in North America. Additionally, the company recently launched a server production line in Mexico. That facility began mass production in the third quarter of this year.
This two-pronged approach reflects Pegatron’s broader strategy to meet demand in the Americas while reducing geopolitical risks. Experts say Taiwan’s top manufacturers are increasingly looking toward the U.S. to secure long-term supply chain resilience.
The company has not disclosed how many jobs the Texas facility will create. However, local officials anticipate economic growth and new employment opportunities.
As the global tech landscape evolves, Taiwan tech expansion into the U.S. appears poised to accelerate. Pegatron’s investment signals a continued shift toward regional production strategies. Industry watchers expect more Taiwanese firms to follow Pegatron’s lead as they adapt to a complex global market.
