The Dutch front-end of Nexperia firmly rejects the Chinese claim that it’s preventing the back-end operations from supplying finished products by cutting IT access. Nijmegen HQ has assessed the allegations internally and concludes that they’re “factually incorrect and misleading,” according to a statement. “Nexperia China’s attempts to attribute its internal operational difficulties to Nexperia B.V. are unfounded.”
In fact, the Dutch say, Nexperia China’s management has undertaken several actions since Q4 of 2025 to separate the back-end IT environment from the front-end: Unauthorized email addresses were created and the use of approved addresses was stopped, an unapproved collaboration platform was introduced, hard disks were removed from Nexperia laptops and more than 100 PCs, laptops and other IT assets needed for production were moved to a non-Nexperia network domain. As these actions placed the Chinese systems outside Dutch governance, compliance and security framework, Nijmegen implemented protective IT measures consistent with company policy, applicable regulations and industry standards.
According to the Dutch, no manufacturing systems were locked and any incidental effects were resolved by the Chinese within hours. “Nexperia’s IT team remains available and on high alert to support the entities in China where required. Based on our assessment, the measures taken by Nexperia didn’t adversely impact Nexperia China’s ability to complete finished goods.”
“We recognize the importance of continuity, transparency and timely supply for our customers,” the Dutch statement continues to read. “Safeguarding customer interests, including data security, supply stability and clear communication, remains our priority. We’ll continue to take all reasonable steps to minimize disruption. Equally, we continue to call on the management of Wingtech and Nexperia China to enter into meaningful and constructive dialogues to resolve current challenges, to the benefit of all parties involved.”
