What Happened
Infineon Technologies AG has officially inaugurated its new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, together with Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand, and Alexander Gorski, Chief Operations Officer of Infineon Technologies. The site strengthens and further diversifies the company's global manufacturing footprint while adding capacity for future growth. Strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia, it reinforces Infineon's ability to serve customers worldwide at a time when long-term semiconductor demand continues to grow, driven by digitalization, electrification and the energy transition.
- A new backend manufacturing hub that strengthens and further diversifies Infineon's global production network
- A strategic investment that reinforces Thailand's growing semiconductor ecosystem and talent development, creating up to 1,000 highly skilled jobs
- A site designed for phased expansion, with the potential for Bangkok to become one of Infineon's largest backend manufacturing sites over time
- A facility that can scale up to five modules, starting with Module A
- An addition that complements the ongoing expansion of Infineon's frontend manufacturing capacities
“What makes Bangkok such an important addition to our global manufacturing footprint is its unique combination of location and growth potential. We are establishing a new hub in the heart of Southeast Asia, surrounded by a fast-growing ecosystem and with excellent access to global logistics. This helps us further diversify our manufacturing network across regions and serve our customers with resilient capacity and great flexibility. We have built the Bangkok site with the future in mind. Starting with Module A, the site can grow to up to five modules over time, giving us unique scalability to support future growth.”
“Infineon's new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, is a strong vote of confidence in Thailand's future as a leading semiconductor location.”

Created by Infineon's new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, which the company says also reinforces Thailand's semiconductor ecosystem and talent development.
Why this matters
Backend manufacturing is the stage where chips are assembled, tested and packaged before shipping, so a new hub adds real production capacity for Infineon and spreads its manufacturing across more regions. The site is designed for phased expansion, meaning Thailand could host one of Infineon's largest backend sites over time, with up to 1,000 highly skilled jobs for the local workforce and more resilient supply for Infineon's customers worldwide.
Terms in This Story
- Backend manufacturing
- The later stage of semiconductor production, in which wafers are assembled, tested and packaged into finished chips before they are shipped to customers.
- Frontend manufacturing
- The earlier stage of semiconductor production, in which circuits are formed on silicon wafers before the wafers move on to assembly, testing and packaging.
- Semiconductor
- A material, and the class of electronic components built from it, used in chips that process, store and control electrical signals.
