Foxconn said it will build a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin, where it will make LCD panels and employ up to 3,000 people.
The company previously announced it might invest up to $10 billion in the U.S. Today’s news, shared by the White House, demonstrates Foxconn was serious about the investment. The facility will be approximately 20,000 square feet and may eventually employ up to 13,000.
Taiwan’s Foxconn is mainly known for manufacturing iPhones for Apple, though it has other consumer electronics customers.
Foxconn said Sharp will be first to use the LCD panels made in Wisconsin for its television sets.
Foxconn is weighing similar investments in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
