Embattled Dutch chipmaker Nexperia gets into public spat with Chinese owners — accused of deception and obstruction, suspending wafer shipments

Nexperia factory in Newport.

Tensions inside Nexperia have sharpened after its parent company, Wingtech Technology, publicly accused the Dutch head office of deception and obstruction, deepening a corporate conflict that has already disrupted wafer flows and raised concerns among major automotive and industrial customers.
