Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) plans to significantly expand its AI server manufacturing operations in Europe, according to CEO Charles Liang in a recent CNBC interview. The move comes as demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure surges across the continent.
Liang emphasized that Europe’s growing appetite for AI capabilities, particularly those requiring high-performance servers powered by Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) chips, is driving the company's increased investment strategy. Super Micro's servers are critical to powering generative AI models, which are seeing widespread global adoption.
“Because the demand in Europe is growing very fast, I already decided—there’s already a plan to invest more in Europe, including manufacturing,” Liang said. He added that global demand for AI infrastructure is expected to remain strong for years to come.
Currently, Super Micro operates manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands but is exploring options to establish new plants in other parts of Europe to meet rising demand. The company has benefitted from the AI boom over the past two years, becoming a key hardware provider in the generative AI ecosystem.
Despite its rapid growth, Super Micro faced investor concerns in 2024 due to delayed financial reporting, raising questions about its accounting practices. These issues were largely resolved after the company filed its fiscal 2024 report in February 2025, easing market anxiety.
Super Micro shares have climbed roughly 63% year-to-date in 2025, although they remain about 60% below their record high from early 2024. Still, the company’s strategic expansion into Europe positions it to capitalize on sustained global demand for AI-focused server solutions. Investors continue to watch how Super Micro leverages its Nvidia partnership to strengthen its footprint in the booming AI infrastructure market.
