Nexperia

What Nexperia does

Nexperia B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered (Nijmegen) global semiconductor manufacturer founded in 2017 as a carve-out from NXP Semiconductors' Standard Components division and acquired by China's Wingtech Technology in 2019. The company produces essential discrete semiconductors — bipolar transistors, diodes, MOSFETs, ESD/TVS protection devices, IGBTs, analog and logic ICs, and wide-bandgap power devices (SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes, GaN FETs in 650V and low-voltage variants) — using proprietary platforms such as TrEOS (ESD protection), MLPAK and QDPAK (miniaturized power packaging), and ASFETs with enhanced dynamic current sharing. Its portfolio spans more than 16,000 products across 300+ package types, including over 6,000 AEC-Q100/Q101 automotive-qualified devices, and the company ships more than 100 billion units annually from fabs in Asia, Europe, and the US.

The company's commercial engine is a high-volume, distributor-led go-to-market model. Nexperia serves four primary verticals — Automotive (largest, including electrification, ADAS, body/lighting, and infotainment), Industrial & Power (AI/datacenters, automation, renewable energy, medical, telecom), Mobile & Wearables, and Computing & Consumer — through a global authorized-distributor network supplemented by an online shop and direct enterprise accounts. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware unit sales rather than subscriptions or licensing. Since September 2025 the company has been at the center of an unresolved Dutch–Chinese governance dispute: the Dutch government invoked the Cold War-era Goods Availability Act to seize control from Wingtech, suspending CEO Zhang Xuezheng; China responded with export controls on chips from Nexperia's Dongguan facility; the Dutch Enterprise Chamber opened a formal mismanagement investigation; and the company has de facto split into a Dutch-administered European operation and a Chinese subsidiary that has declared independence and begun separate 12-inch-wafer production. Nexperia maintains IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications.
