The Taiwanese multinational tech company Inventec has announced plans to invest US $450 million in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, as part of the firm’s expansion in northern Mexico. 

Inventec designs and manufactures electronics, servers and artificial intelligence (AI) hardware. The company’s expansion is expected to support the creation of up to 6,000 specialized jobs, according to the state government.

Officials from Chihuahua’s Innovation and Economic Development Ministry attended a ceremony on Monday marking the project’s foundational phase.  

The state of Chihuahua has become a major exporter of computer and AI equipment to the United States, making it a popular destination for companies looking to take advantage of Mexico as a nearshoring location, with lower labor costs and favorable tariff agreements. The investment demonstrates Inventec’s confidence in the region and ability to expand based on its previous performance.

Mexico as an investment hub for Taiwanese tech 

In April 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that major United States tech companies had requested that their Taiwanese manufacturing partners increase the production of AI-related hardware in Mexico, in a bid to reduce their reliance on China.  

Over the past three years, several of those technology companies, including Foxconn, SINBON and Quanta, have invested in manufacturing expansions in Jalisco, Nuevo León and San Luis Potosí.

Mexico’s computer hardware exports increased by over 35% year-over-year in the first half of 2026, with a significant proportion of the rise attributable to AI servers. Bilateral trade with Taiwan, valued at US $7.5 billion in February alone, is projected to climb substantially by the end of the year.
