At the Munich electronics show in November 2026, the interim CEO of Nexperia revealed that there remains a possibility of reintegrating the Dutch headquarters and the China region operations. Nexperia, formerly the standard products division of NXP, was fully acquired by Wingtech Technology in 2020. Its previous production chain involved wafers produced at factories in Germany and the UK, shipped to the Dongguan base for packaging and testing before being delivered to global customers. In September 2025, Dutch authorities issued a restrictive order, and local judicial bodies suspended the relevant duties of Wingtech founder Zhang Xuezheng and placed most of the Nexperia shares held by Wingtech under trusteeship. China subsequently introduced targeted export controls, later granting exemptions for compliant civilian-use categories. In November of the same year, the Netherlands announced the suspension of the previous administrative order, but the judicial trusteeship measures have not yet been lifted. After the supply chain disruption, Nexperia China launched a localization contingency plan, advancing the migration of automotive-grade chip production lines and achieving mass production of discrete devices on 12-inch wafers. By the first half of 2026, Nexperia China's core team was fully established domestically, delivering over 40 billion chips cumulatively to more than 1,000 customers worldwide within 11 months, with supply cycles for some low-voltage power devices compressed from 16 weeks to 6 weeks. Nexperia Netherlands shifted the packaging and testing capacity originally handled by Dongguan to Malaysia and the Philippines, where combined annual capacity now reaches 55 billion chips, with long-term expansion plans to match the shipment scale of the former Dongguan base. Nexperia Netherlands is also in talks with manufacturers in the US and India for new wafer foundry partnerships, though these projects remain in the planning stage and have not yet formed actual capacity. The two interim administrators appointed by the Dutch side proposed a split plan under which Wingtech would retain control of Nexperia China, while overseas operations would be controlled by external capital, leaving Wingtech with only a minority stake. The plan has been rejected by Wingtech. The two sides have filed multiple lawsuits in courts across China and the Netherlands. Nexperia Netherlands has claimed $2 billion in damages, while Wingtech has filed related lawsuits in China involving 8 billion yuan. Courts in multiple jurisdictions have issued preservation rulings freezing the relevant equity and assets. To date, no final rulings have been issued in any of the judicial proceedings, and both sides have kept the door open for negotiations.
