Nexperia Halts China Shipments as VW Supplier Slows Output

Nexperia halted supplies to its China factory over disagreements with the site’s management, potentially escalating the standoff that’s already impacting automotive production in Europe and beyond.

The Nijmegen, Netherlands-based chipmaker sent a letter this week to customers notifying them that they would stop sending wafers to its plant in Dongguan, China. The site is one of the largest of its kind in the world and accounted for about half of the Nexperia’s supply before the crisis.
