Infineon Technologies marked its 30th anniversary in Wuxi, East China's Jiangsu province on March 28 with the opening of a new production building.

As one of the world's top 10 semiconductor companies, Germany-based Infineon established its only manufacturing site in China in Wuxi National Hi-Tech District, also known as Xinwu district, in 1995. The factory has grown into one of the company's largest IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistors, a semiconductor device) production bases, serving industries such as new energy vehicles and renewable energy.

During the ceremony, George Lee, Infineon's executive vice-president and back-end management board member, praised the Wuxi factory for its outstanding operations and attributed its success in part to the strong support from Wuxi government. He reaffirmed Infineon's commitment to Wuxi, emphasizing that the company will strengthen local production advantages to drive long-term business growth in China.

In a LinkedIn post about the celebration, David Poon, president and managing director of Infineon Greater China, shared that the company will continue to enhance supply chain resilience and competitiveness by collaborating with nearly 60 manufacturing partners across China, aiming to provide more efficient and reliable services.

Zhang Jinwei, head of Xinwu district, said the new facility will surely help develop a world-class integrated circuit industry cluster in the district and expressed hope that Infineon would introduce more high-end projects to Xinwu.

While attending the celebration, the German Consul General in Shanghai Norbert Riedel, praised Wuxi for its strong industrial foundation, innovation-driven growth, and favorable business environment. He noted that Wuxi has become a prime investment destination for German enterprises, with Infineon serving as a key example of the long-standing cooperation between China and Germany.
