Nexperia Europe faces supply risk as Shanghai factory sparks potential company split

A modern chip factory in the far southeast of Shanghai has become central to a growing conflict between Nexperia’s European management and Chinese CEO Zhang Xuezheng, with the facility’s role threatening a split between the Chinese and European branches of the company. Such a split could leave Nexperia Europe without critical chip supplies, according to FD.

位于上海东南部的一家现代化芯片工厂，已成为安派瑞（Nexperia）欧洲管理层与中国首席执行长张学正之间日益加剧的冲突的核心，该工厂的角色可能导致该公司中国和欧洲分公司的分裂。据FD称，这样的拆分可能会使安派瑞欧洲失去关键的芯片供应。

The Shanghai plant is operated by Wingsky Semi, a company under Zhang’s holding Wentianxia, which also owns Nexperia parent Wingtech. Wingsky and Wingtech are effectively sister companies. Founded five years ago, Wingsky produces chips for the automotive industry but does not design them, manufacturing them for other companies.

上海工厂由张朝阳控股的闻天天下旗下的Wingsky Semi公司运营，闻天天下还拥有安派瑞的母公司Wingtech。Wingsky和Wingtech实际上是姐妹公司。Wingsky成立于五年前，为汽车行业生产芯片，但不设计芯片，而是为其他公司制造芯片。

The conflict escalated this week when Nexperia’s Dutch offices suspended wafer shipments—semi-finished chips essential for final production—to the Shanghai facility. Interim CEO Stefan Tilger said the suspension is “a direct consequence of local—Chinese—management adhering to agreed payment obligations.” European Nexperia factories supply the half-finished chips to the Chinese plant, where final assembly takes place.

本周冲突升级，安派利亚荷兰分公司暂停向上海工厂运送晶圆——对最终生产至关重要的半成品芯片。临时首席执行官斯蒂芬·蒂尔格（Stefan Tilger）表示，暂停是“中国当地管理层遵守商定的付款义务的直接后果”。安派利亚的欧洲工厂向中国工厂供应半成品芯片，在那里进行最终组装。

Volkswagen warned Thursday it has only a week’s supply of Nexperia chips, which control functions like windshield wipers and side windows. Each European car contains 350 to 500 of these chips. The conflict now threatens widespread production stoppages across Europe and risks a permanent division between Nexperia Europe and its Chinese operations.

大众汽车（Volkswagen）周四警告称，它只有一周的安派瑞芯片供应。安派瑞芯片用于控制挡风玻璃雨刷器和侧窗等功能。每辆欧洲汽车包含350到500个这样的芯片。这场冲突现在威胁到整个欧洲的大范围停产，并有可能导致安世利亚欧洲与其中国业务之间的永久分裂。

On September 30, Caretaker Minister Vincent Karremans of Economic Affairs (VVD) invoked the Availability of Goods Act to freeze operations at Nijmegen-based Nexperia. Since the order, Chinese parent company Wingtech has been unable to move any parts or machinery from the facility.

9月30日，经济事务的看守部长Vincent Karremans援引《货物供应法》（Availability of Goods Act）冻结了总部位于奈梅亨的Nexperia公司的运营。自订单下达以来，中国母公司Wingtech一直无法从该工厂移动任何部件或机器。

One day later, the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal intervened in Nexperia, suspending the company’s director-owner and placing its shares under independent management. The Dutch government said the timing of the two actions was coincidental.

一天后，阿姆斯特丹上诉法院企业厅（Enterprise Chamber of Amsterdam Court of Appeal）介入了对Nexperia的诉讼，暂停了该公司董事所有人的职务，并将其股票置于独立管理之下。荷兰政府表示，这两项行动的时机是巧合。
