Table of Contents
The Chinese owner of chip manufacturer Nexperia explored the possibility of selling its European chip factories, according to Nexperia Nederland’s lawyer stated in court in Amsterdam today, January 14, 2026. The statement came during a hearing concerning interventions made by the Enterprise Chamber last fall regarding the chip manufacturer.
Background
The court is reviewing whether further measures are needed following the Enterprise Chamber’s actions. The Enterprise Chamber, a specialized division of the Dutch court system, intervenes in corporate disputes and can order changes to a company’s governance. The case centers around concerns about the influence of Nexperia’s Chinese ownership on national security, notably regarding critical semiconductor technology.
Context of the Exploration
The exploration of a sale suggests potential pressure on Nexperia’s parent company, Wingtech Technology, to divest assets in Europe due to increasing scrutiny from governments concerned about strategic control of semiconductor production. This scrutiny has intensified as governments worldwide seek to bolster domestic chip manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
recent Developments
The Enterprise Chamber took action in the fall of 2023,ordering changes at Nexperia. The specific details of those changes are under review by the court. NOS News provides further coverage of the court proceedings.
