Infineon expands existing backend operations in Indonesia
Infineon Technologies AG is expanding its existing backend operations in Indonesia through PT Infineon Technologies Batam by purchasing real estate from PT Unisem, a member of Unisem Group. The premises close to Infineon’s existing backend manufacturing site include manufacturing buildings that will double Infineon’s production area in Batam when fully operational. In the course of this expansion, Infineon’s Batam site will increase its focus on the assembly and test of automotive products.
“Infineon is making another step in strengthening its global operations network. We are committed to investing into continued structural growth and to strengthen the resilience of our supply chain,” said Alexander Gorski, Executive Vice President and responsible for Infineon’s global Backend Operations. Dr. Thomas Kaufmann, Executive Vice President and COO of Infineon’s Automotive Division, said: “In view of increasing demand for automotive semiconductors and to the benefit of our customers, this purchase is allowing us to add backend capacities faster than with the greenfield construction of a new site”.
预计生产将于2024年开始。BATAM的扩张是Infineon长期投资战略的一部分，该战略预测2022财政年度的投资约为24亿欧元。PT Infineon Technologies Batam是一个后端制造地点，拥有2,000多名员工。它位于Batamindo工业园区内，是印度尼西亚 - 苏格尔 - 马来西亚生长三角形的一部分。
最近，作为其长期制造策略的一部分，Infineon Technologies AG通过在宽带（SIC和GAN）半导体领域增加了重要的制造能力，从而提高了其在电力半导体方面的市场领导。Infineon投资了超过20亿欧元，在其位于马来西亚库里姆市的网站上建造第三个模块。一旦设备齐全，新模块将使用基于碳化硅和硝酸盐的产品产生20亿欧元的年收入。遵循该公司的长期制造策略的扩张将受益于库里姆（Kulim）200毫米制造业已经取得的良好规模经济。
