Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) will be ramping up investments in manufacturing in Europe to meet AI demand, CEO Charles Liang told CNBC in an interview.
Liang said demand is “growing very fast” in Europe and there is “already a plan to invest more in Europe, including manufacturing.”
The company’s current footprint in Europe is a manufacturing site in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. It offers servers with Nvidia (NVDA) chips for large-scale AI training and deployments.
Super Micro’s latest fiscal Q1 results showed solid revenue growth, but it still fell short of Wall Street expectations, with Liang attributing the shortfall to customers delaying purchases in anticipation of next-generation Blackwell AI GPUs from Nvidia.
The company is already ramping up manufacturing elsewhere, with new facilities in Malaysia and Taiwan set to be fully operational later this year to meet future demand.
In the latest interview with CNBC, Liang stressed that Super Micro’s (NASDAQ:SMCI) growth “continues to be strong.”
