Nexperia Secures $60M Loan to Boost Chip Output

Dutch state-backed finance institution Invest International will provide semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia with a $60 million loan to support investments across its global production facilities.

The funding aims to expand output capacity, modernize manufacturing lines and improve operational efficiency.

Nexperia, based in the Netherlands and owned by China’s Wingtech, has been at the center of a geopolitical corporate dispute after Dutch authorities intervened last year by installing a European management team. The move caused tensions between Europe and China and disrupted global supply chains for basic automotive chips.

The new financing is expected to strengthen Nexperia’s production capabilities while preserving its internal resources for ongoing activities.

Separately, a Dutch court recently ordered an investigation into alleged mismanagement at the company but allowed the current European leadership to remain in place.
