Overview
- China’s Wingtech filed a Netherlands Supreme Court appeal challenging October rulings that stripped its control of Nexperia, with no ruling expected this year.
- Nexperia’s Dutch headquarters issued an open letter saying repeated attempts to reestablish contact with its China unit failed and warning of imminent customer production stoppages.
- Wingtech and Nexperia China refuted that claim, alleging the Dutch side halted wafer shipments and cut Chinese staff off IT systems while pursuing a non‑Chinese supply chain and a $300 million Malaysia expansion.
- European wafer shipments to Dongguan remain halted over non‑payment claims, and China’s export curbs on finished chips were only partially relaxed, keeping automotive supply risks elevated.
- EU and Chinese officials pressed for a corporate‑level resolution as the Dutch government’s suspension of its intervention left court measures and interim management still in force.
