KUALA LUMPUR — Belgian chipmaker Melexis is leveraging its production capacity in “neutral” Malaysia to navigate the geopolitical headwinds buffeting the global semiconductor industry, with an eye toward sharpening its China strategy.
Marc Biron, chief executive of Melexis, told Nikkei Asia that the uncertainties surrounding the global chip supply chain are pushing companies to become “agile enough” to seize emerging opportunities, particularly by building out a “China for China” model.
