TAIPEI – Inventec said it will invest approximately $136 million to expand production capacity at its Thailand operations, reflecting accelerating demand from US customers shifting notebook manufacturing away from China.

The investment will fund a combination of plant renovations, equipment upgrades, and the construction of a new factory and supporting infrastructure. Roughly $54 million is allocated for facility improvements and equipment, while about $82 million will be used to build the new production site.

The Thailand expansion is designed to support both notebook and server manufacturing. Demand from US clients has increasingly driven notebook production outside China, prompting higher utilization at both leased and company-owned facilities in Thailand.

While China remains the largest manufacturing base, Thailand now represents a low double-digit share of total notebook shipments, signaling a growing role in the company’s global supply chain diversification strategy.

In the artificial intelligence server segment, most production continues to be based in Taiwan. A U.S. manufacturing facility in Texas is scheduled to begin operations by the end of Q1, with mass production expected in Q2, positioning the company closer to North American customers.
