Why It Matters: Foxconn, renowned for manufacturing Apple products, is capitalizing on the burgeoning artificial intelligence market. The company has entered the server production sector, supplying crucial GB200 chips to Nvidia. To further solidify its position, Foxconn is establishing the world’s largest manufacturing facility for these AI servers in Mexico.

This strategic move aligns with Foxconn’s vision to leverage the growing AI market. During the company’s annual tech day in Taipei in October, Chairman Young Liu emphasized Foxconn’s cutting-edge liquid cooling and heat dissipation technologies, essential for supporting the demanding infrastructure of GB200 servers.

The significance of the company’s partnership with Nvidia was further highlighted by Benjamin Ting, Foxconn’s senior vice president for cloud enterprise solutions. At the same event, Ting confirmed the construction of the largest GB200 production facility globally, although he declined to specify the location.

He and Nvidia’s vice president for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla, jointly emphasized the strong market demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell platform.
