Overview
- Nexperia informed customers it suspended deliveries of wafer pre-products to its Dongguan assembly and test site effective October 26, according to a letter signed by interim chief Stefan Tilger.
- Shipments will resume once the outstanding payment obligations are fully met, and the company says it is working on alternative solutions to maintain customer supplies.
- The pause targets a critical step in Nexperia’s flow, as chips fabricated in Europe are packaged and tested in China before sale.
- Carmakers and suppliers have activated crisis teams to safeguard production, and reports say German manufacturers have not yet halted assembly lines.
- The disruption follows the Dutch government’s late‑September takeover of Nexperia and China’s subsequent halt on exports of the company’s finished products.
