Dear ASUS Leadership Team,
ASUS has earned a global reputation for engineering excellence, innovation, and performance across product lines ranging from ROG gaming systems to ZenWiFi mesh networks and RT‑AX series routers. As the United States moves toward a more secure and domestically anchored communications‑equipment supply chain, ASUS is uniquely positioned to expand its leadership by establishing a U.S.‑based manufacturing presence.
Pike County, Kentucky is reaching out because we believe our region offers the ideal environment for ASUS to build a long‑term, scalable, and cost‑efficient American manufacturing operation—one that aligns with your commitment to quality, precision, and cutting‑edge design.
Why Pike County Is the Right Location for ASUS
Pike County provides a rare combination of workforce capability, logistics access, and operational affordability that matches ASUS’s high‑performance production needs.
- A Workforce Built for Precision Technology
Eastern Kentucky workers bring decades of experience in industrial, technical, and electronics‑adjacent fields. Their reliability, attention to detail, and long‑term employment commitment make them ideal for PCB assembly, device testing, quality assurance, and final‑stage router production—critical for premium lines like ROG Rapture and ZenWiFi.
- Strategic Transportation Connectivity
Pike County connects directly to major U.S. markets through four‑lane corridors (US 23 and US 119) feeding into I‑64, I‑75, I‑26, and I‑81. This ensures efficient distribution for high‑volume consumer products and enterprise‑grade networking equipment.
- Industrial Sites Ready for Rapid Deployment
Our region offers shovel‑ready industrial parks, adaptable manufacturing buildings, and development zones suitable for electronics assembly, plastics, injection molding, packaging, and fulfillment operations.
- Lower Operating Costs Without Compromising Capability

- A Community That Partners With Industry
Pike County is committed to long‑term collaboration with companies that invest in our region. We work transparently, proactively, and with a shared vision for growth.
A Partnership That Strengthens ASUS’s U.S. Presence
We are prepared to work with ASUS to develop a performance‑based incentive package that supports job creation, capital investment, and long‑term operational stability. Our goal is to help ASUS establish a durable U.S. manufacturing footprint that enhances supply‑chain resilience and meets evolving federal requirements.
We Invite ASUS to Explore Pike County
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how Pike County can support ASUS’s domestic manufacturing strategy. We can provide:
- Site and facility options tailored to electronics production
