On July 13, 2026, LITEON Technology revealed a planned investment of US$919 million to construct an advanced manufacturing facility in Texas at McKinney, which included US$108.5 million for the purchase of factory buildings.
Expected to result in at least 600 high-quality direct employment jobs, the project ranks as one of the largest private investments by McKinney to date. The investment further reinforces the presence of LITEON in North America while fostering opportunities for growth arising from the swift development of AI infrastructure along with energy-associated markets.
It is well to be noted that the advanced manufacturing facility in Texas’ McKinney is going to cover over 650,000 square feet and accommodate a wide range of manufacturing and operational as well as engineering activities. The project will likely help the region accomplish long-term economic growth in addition to improving the responsiveness of LITEON and service capabilities for clients and partners across North America.
Opines Tom Soong, LITEON’s Chairman, “This investment marks an important milestone in LITEON’s global growth strategy. The new site will not only strengthen our presence in North America but also create greater synergies across our global operations by aligning regional and global resources, providing a strong foundation for future growth. As AI infrastructure development and the global energy transition continue to reshape industries, this investment will further strengthen LITEON’s global competitiveness and support the company’s long-term growth.”
The McKinney facility builds on the current presence of LITEON in Texas and reinforces the long-term commitment by the company to grow its North American impact. Interestingly, the investment will increase the operating flexibility of LITEON and solidify its position within the fast-growing AI infrastructure and energy industries.
