Leveraging the Semiconductor Crisis Affecting Various Sectors, Bosch Announced €400 Million in Investments for the Construction of 03 New Factories in Germany and Malaysia

Leveraging the crisis affecting the global semiconductor market, Bosch is responding more quickly to the problems caused by the shortage of this item in the manufacturing of products. A few months after the opening of the semiconductor production factory in Germany, in the city of Dresden, the company now announced an investment of €400 million for the coming year, aimed at the construction of new factories.

Bosch Plans to Build New Factories to Meet Semiconductor Demand

The investments announced by the company are aimed at expanding the factories in Dresden and Reutlingen, both in Germany, and a new testing center for semiconductors in Penang, Malaysia.

The global CEO of Bosch, Volkmar Denner, states that the demand for semiconductors is increasing at a staggering pace. Therefore, the company is exponentially expanding the production of this item so that customers can be served in the best way possible.

According to Denner, the investments in new factories once again show the strategic importance of the company to have its own production capacity for core semiconductor technology.

Microelectronics is an essential factor for the success of all Bosch business sectors. Due to the great potential of this sector, the company has been manufacturing semiconductors for over six decades. Because of its extensive knowledge of microelectronics and expertise in software and electronics, Bosch is one of the rare companies that combines competitive advantage with semiconductor production to meet the demand for automotive and consumer electronics applications.

Since the implementation of 200mm technology in 2010, Bosch has invested over €2.5 billion in its new semiconductor factories in Dresden and Reutlingen alone. In addition, billions of euros have been invested in creating microelectronics.
