We are reaching out to urgently clarify recent communications you may have received from individuals associated with the test and assembly site in Dongguan (ATGD), China or other entities in
China.
We regret to inform you that Nexperia at this time cannot guarantee that Nexperia intellectual property, technology and authenticity or quality standards (for example AECQ-101) are being used in
the manufacturing of your products at the ATGD Dongguan facility. We therefore highly recommend not to accept any delivery of and/or use these parts.
Potential issues with the products may include, but are not limited to:
- Potential changes in product specifications, since Nexperia cannot guarantee the wafers used
for production are authentic Nexperia wafers
- Use of alternative materials
- Deviations from Nexperia’s quality assurance processes
- Products that differ from Nexperia’s specifications and datasheets
As a result, Nexperia considers any products manufactured at the ATGD Dongguan facility to be not representative of our brand or standards. As such, such parts should be not regarded as authentic Nexperia parts. This means that the products purchased from ATGD are not protected by the terms and conditions under our Joint PSA.
We have been made aware of a message circulated by individuals at Nexperia China entities, falsely claiming that Nexperia and the Dutch government have abandoned the Chinese market and that the factory is now operating independently under a new entity. Furthermore, claims have been made that Nexperia has not been paying salaries to its employees. These statements are factually incorrect and misleading.
Please also note that Nexperia B.V. does not request (i) MOUs for shipments within China, and/or (ii) pre-payments or changes to banking or invoicing details for product delivery. Any such requests should as such not be adhered to. If you receive any such request, please contact salesnex@nexperia.com immediately.
This situation has arisen due to the unauthorized actions by our former CEO Wing Zhang, who has been formally suspended by a competent court following legal proceedings and has no authority to represent Nexperia in any way whatsoever. Nexperia has reported these unauthorized actions to government authorities.
We are actively working to re-establish governance over the site and ramp up capacities and will update you accordingly. We strongly advise our valued customers to pause any commercial
negotiations with Nexperia China entities until the situation is resolved and we have updated you accordingly.
Your trust and partnership are of utmost importance to us. If you have any questions or concerns, or want to verify communication you have received, please contact salesnex@nexperia.com.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust.
Best regards,
Stefan Tilger
Interim CEO Nexperia
