Nexperia Is Again Considering Merger with Chinese Business

Dutch chipmaker Nexperia is once again considering reuniting with its Chinese business. According to the company's CEO, a deal is still possible, even though both sides have already been operating separately for more than a year.

The company split after the Dutch government intervened in its operations. The government wanted to prevent a large share of production and other key activities from moving to China.

The state intervention was later lifted, but the European and Chinese businesses continue to operate separately, and legal disputes are still ongoing.

Nexperia has increased production in Malaysia, but has not yet managed to fully meet demand. The company's chips are widely used in automobiles and consumer electronics.
