Technology supply firm Robert Bosch has announced that it is investing more than 400 million euros in expanding its semiconductor facilities in Germany and Malaysia next year, in the face of a crippling shortfall of the vital component.
Here’s a detailed look at the plans.

Good. Invest in Germany, not China
Chip
"These investments couldn't come at a better time."
Well, if they had invested earlier, they could be now selling as much as they can produce. I'm sure Bosch is not the only company that is and has been for a while working on to fix the chip shortage problem. Once every company's upgrade projects will be finished, the result might be an oversupply of chips.
But diversifying production outside China, where a great majority of electronics products has been manufactured for years, is a good thing. Generally having all the eggs in the same basket is risky, and lately especially China has started to become more risky.
This just a chip in a pateto field. Eu still far behind but catching up
This like when Jim invested 10k
★★ SILVER pump $100. ★★
There was one country in the entire world that was profitably making chips for all the computers in the world, and nobody saw this coming? What are the governments of all these countries, a bunch of Fing retards??!!
Now, will the German government and will the EU support it to the hilt like China supports its tech companies? Will the EU finally grow its own tech giants so the US cannot use access to tech to coerce European countries, like it tried to do on Nordstream 2, or buying oil from Iran, or buying telecom equipment from China? China was smart to build its own. As a country, it is more free to assert its independence and its national interests in a way European countries cannot. Will Europe continue to follow through, develop independent capabilities and decouple from an increasingly irrational, paranoid and psychotic US?
All these companies and countries trying to jump into chip making by pouring billions of dollars into it won't achieve much, at least not in the coming decade. It will need trillions of dollars and strong will before some of them can see any return.
Bosch factory U.S.
Here is one of 100s examples wby ecology is bs. Nothing more than green washing.
Production, faster, more, bigger, faster. All run by psychopaths or salesmen or both.
Spyros Panopoulos at SP Automotive, for the hydrogen steep curve, 30X growth by 2025, fuel cells are now ready,
Companies have off shored too much manufacturing to China. The problems with PPE for virus protection should have been a wake up call. Countries need to encourage more domestic production for their own needs.
Build MOAR
Hope America do something about this so that it could maintain its monopoly on chip technology. No Asian or European country should possess this type of technology that could earn billions of revenue.
Of all the states in Malaysia they choose Penang?! Why? Landmass wise that place is not big enough for manufacturing.
1:11 ugh
Yo these crypto spam bots are everywhere.
Europe already tried and failed to do this many years ago. As politically sound as it may look, it is just not economically viable for Europe, they have few and very expensive engineers compared to the East.
too late for the party
Thanks Bosch, I'll buy a my next power tool from you guys if I need one
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today….
It is late I think for the Germany industry to shift to more digital and soft technology. We will see if it succeeds.
Thought was talking about Casino Chips😂
400 M is nothing
400 million for chip production is a joke. When I did my intern 20 years ago in a now defunct semi fab in LA, one single machine costs 12million, a regular production line has 20 such machines for one step, and normal line has 100plus steps.
so now chipmakers and fab branching to Texas US and Malaysia?
