Infineon Technologies officially initiated the construction of a power semiconductor module manufacturing plant in Samut Prakan, located in the southern part of Bangkok, Thailand, on January 14, 2024. This move marks a significant step forward in Infineon's global manufacturing footprint. The new highly automated backend assembly plant, dedicated to the production of power modules, is anticipated to commence operations in early 2026.

While Infineon has not disclosed the expected capacity or specific technical details, the company has made it clear that this highly automated factory will possess a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. This implies that the factory can flexibly adjust and increase its capacity based on market demand, ensuring Infineon's competitiveness in the global power module market. This strategic decision not only demonstrates Infineon's keen insight into market demand changes but also reflects its accurate anticipation and proactive response to the demand for power modules amidst the global decarbonization and climate protection trends.

It is worth mentioning that the project has received substantial support from the Board of Investment (BOI) of Thailand. In the context of global decarbonization and climate protection, the demand for power modules in industries such as industrial applications and renewable energy is continuously rising. Infineon's establishment of this factory in Thailand is a crucial part of its diversified manufacturing layout. The factory will play a significant role in meeting future customer demands, enhancing supply chain resilience, and optimizing cost structures. Rutger Wijburg, Infineon's Chief Operating Officer, also pointed out that this is a key step in Infineon's corporate strategy, bringing long-term growth opportunities for the company.

Beyond meeting market demands and enhancing supply chain resilience, Infineon also plans to support the development of Thailand's semiconductor ecosystem. The company will cover key components and materials in the supply chain, promoting the further development of Thailand's semiconductor industry. To cater to the factory's development needs, Infineon has also established training and education programs covering artificial intelligence, digitization, and automation. The first batch of Thai engineers has completed relevant training at other Infineon factories, fully preparing for the future operation of the factory.

Looking ahead, Infineon will continue to drive the innovation and development of power module technology. The company will continuously invest in research and development resources to enhance product performance and reliability, providing more efficient and reliable solutions for global customers. Additionally, Infineon will actively participate in global energy transformation and climate protection initiatives, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals.
