Navigating Supply Chains When Governments Intervene

In late September 2025, three national governments enacted coordinated measures affecting Nexperia, a global semiconductor manufacturer recognized for its MOSFETs and small-signal discretes.

The United States expanded export controls to include Wingtech Technology, Nexperia's parent company based in China. China introduced its own export restrictions impacting domestic manufacturing operations. Meanwhile, the Netherlands invoked the Goods Availability Act, resulting in the temporary suspension of the company's CEO and the transfer of shareholder voting rights to independent oversight.

These combined actions significantly disrupted Nexperia's global production capacity, with nearly half of operations affected within days. Authorized distributors paused quotations, while brokers reported elevated pricing on remaining inventory.
