Nexperia China Achieves Supply Chain Localization Amid Tensions with Dutch Parent

Nexperia’s Chinese unit has declared that its domestic 12-inch wafer platform now covers all product categories, marking a significant milestone in establishing an independent supply chain. This development comes more than a year after its Dutch parent company halted direct shipments of European wafers.

During the 23rd China International Semiconductor Expo in Beijing on November 12, Nexperia China CEO John Chang stated that the local division has formed partnerships with domestic foundries while utilizing its own facilities and local contractors for chip packaging and testing.

Chang emphasized, “We have completed the localisation of the entire chain, from product definition and development to manufacturing.” This shift has reportedly reduced delivery times for certain components to four to six weeks, down from the previous 12 to 16 weeks.
