Nexperia is a global semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. It has front-end factories in Hamburg, Germany and Greater Manchester, England.[3] It is the former Standard Products business unit of NXP Semiconductors (previously as Philips Semiconductors). The company's product range includes bipolar transistors, diodes, ESD protection, TVS diodes, MOSFETs, and logic devices.[4]

History[]

Nexperia is spinoff from NXP Semiconductor after its former parent company want to concentrate the business in mixed-signal electronics for security, embedded computing, and connected cars.[5] on June 14, 2016.[6]

It was announced that Nexperia would be divested from NXP to a consortium of Chinese financial investors consisting of Beijing Jianguang Asset Management Co., Ltd ("JAC Capital"), a subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned investment company[7] and Wise Road Capital LTD ("Wise Road Capital"). The transaction became official on 6 February 2017. JAC Capital and Wise Road Capital focuses on global investments, including investment in R&D, manufacturing and customer service.[6] Following the transaction, Nexperia became an independent company, and the entire scope of the NXP Standard Products business, including its management team, led by Frans Scheper, and approximately 11,000 NXP employees were transferred to Nexperia.[6]

On October 25,2018, Nexperia was again sold off to Wingtech Technology Co Ltd, ODM for smartphone companies for $3.6 billion. It will own 75.86 percent of Nexperia as a result of the deals. [8]

Before becoming the company name for the Standards Products business spun-off from NXP, Nexperia was a brand for NXP's media processors range.[9]
