Nexperia China Ensures Continuity Despite Dutch Wafer Supply Halt
Nexperia China has taken decisive steps to ensure a seamless production process despite the recent suspension of wafer supplies from the Netherlands. The company has confirmed that it will continue to meet customer demands by securing new wafer suppliers. This commitment extends through the end of the year and beyond.
Nexperia China’s Response to Supply Chain Challenges
The semiconductor manufacturer’s Chinese division issued a bilingual statement on Sunday, detailing its readiness to address client needs. Nexperia China emphasized that it has multiple contingency plans in place.
Context Behind the Supply Suspension
These measures come after Dutch authorities seized control of Nexperia’s parent company in the Netherlands from Chinese owner Wingtech. This move occurred in September amidst concerns regarding potential technology transfers. In its statement, Nexperia China described the justification for this action as “misleading and highly deceptive.”
Financial Obligations and Controversies
Nexperia China asserts its compliance with contractual agreements. According to their assertion, Nexperia Netherlands currently owes over 1 billion yuan (approximately US$140 million) to ATGD, the company’s assembly and testing facility located in Dongguan.
- Company Name: Nexperia China

Conclusion
Despite the challenges posed by the recent supply chain disruptions, Nexperia China remains committed to ensuring its production continues without interruption. The company aims to reassure its customers through strategic planning and clear communication.
