Dutch semiconductor giant grace wisdom of NXP) yesterday announced the sale of its Standard Products (14) days (Standard Products), the buyer is a background in the official Beijing built broadly assets and private-equity firms Wise Road Capital, which is to build wide assets from item 2 of pu acquired business, shows that Chinese companies are still actively through overseas acquisitions to strengthen in the semiconductor industry.
Grace wisdom pu the standards of the semiconductor products division mainly produces semiconductor devices for consumer electronics products, application areas include industrial, automotive, wearable devices, and other fields, revenue of about $1.24 billion last year, account for about 2 of pu full-year revenue into. And the acquisition price of $2.75 billion, estimates will be completed in the first three months of 2017, and then it would be called Nexperia again.
Founded in 2014, built this broad asset's main shareholders include zhongjian investment management (tianjin) science and technology with China financial industry alliance, a semi-official capital background, mainly focus on IC industry and strategic emerging industry investment, and last year to $1.8 billion acquisition of grace of pu, radio frequency (RF Power) business.
Reuters reported that Chinese enterprises to invest overseas is especially interested in science and technology enterprises, the government wants China to become the global semiconductor industry power.
For each Chinese enterprises in overseas mergers and acquisitions semiconductor, thunis Group to be the most positive attitude in the last month announced a stake in the apple chip suppliers Imagination Technologies Group, and buying American laidi (Lattice) semiconductor about 6% of the company.
In addition to overseas acquisitions, the Chinese semiconductor manufacturing into the development of a lot of money at the same time. Thunis chairman wei-guo zhao has said that this year to invest $30 billion in main storage in semiconductor wafer fabrication, is expected to become China's largest storage memory of investment projects. And wuhan new core (XMC) in March to open memory the new production line, investment of $24 billion.
Under a large number of capital injections, China's semiconductor production capacity will be seen explosive growth. International semiconductor equipment material industry association (SEMI), according to a report in a few days ago, the world's 2016 ~ 17 semiconductor plant will be built in 2017, including 10 in China, is this year new semiconductor production capacity more than half will come from China.
