Nexperia B.V. is a semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. It is a subsidiary of Wingtech Technology, a Shanghai-listed company partially owned by the Chinese government. In October 2025, the Dutch government briefly took control of governance of the firm, citing security concerns. It has front-end factories in Hamburg, Germany, and Greater Manchester, England. It is the former Standard Products business unit of NXP Semiconductors (previously Philips Semiconductors). The company's product range includes bipolar transistors, diodes, ESD protection, TVS diodes, MOSFETs, and logic devices.

==History== Nexperia is a second-generation spin-off of Philips' semiconductor division, whose history dates back to the 1920s when Philips acquired vacuum tubes manufacturer Mullard, whose facility in Hazel Grove became today's Nexperia Manchester, and Valvo in Hamburg. In the early 1950s, Philips started with the production of semiconductors in Nijmegen and Hamburg, where the Nexperia wafer fab is located. In 1981, Philips opened a factory in Cabuyao, Philippines. The fab is owned and operated by Nexperia. In 1991, Philips founded ITEC, a manufacturer of semiconductor equipment. Today, ITEC is an independent subsidiary of Nexperia. Philips and Motorola established the Semiconductor Miniature Products factory in Seremban Malaysia in 1992 as a joint venture, which became part of Nexperia.
