Taiwanese chip-testing company King Yuan Electronics outlined a major U.S. investment plan as suppliers to Nvidia and other semiconductor groups expand manufacturing in America.
King Yuan Electronics, or KYEC, said it plans to invest up to $1.4 billion to establish a facility in the United States, marking a significant step in the broader expansion of Taiwanese semiconductor and electronics manufacturing in America. The company said the investment is aimed at supporting operational growth and strengthening its position in the global supply chain. KYEC, a supplier to Nvidia, did not identify which customers the planned U.S. site would serve and did not disclose the facility’s location or a construction timetable. The announcement adds to a wider shift by Taiwanese technology manufacturers toward the United States after TSMC’s multibillion-dollar investment in Arizona. Foxconn and Wistron are also building AI server manufacturing capacity in Texas for Nvidia, underscoring how demand tied to artificial intelligence is reshaping production networks across the semiconductor industry.
