AMSTERDAM: Nexperia, one of the world’s largest makers of basic semiconductors such as diodes and transistors, says it will invest US$200mil to expand capacity at its main production site in Hamburg, Germany.
The investment by Dutch-headquarted Nexperia, owned by Chinese electronics maker WingTech, is a rare example of a computer chip investment made in Europe without assistance from state subsidies under the European Union’s Chips Act launched in 2023.
