European semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics announced Monday that it has begun shipping STM32 microcontroller wafers to Chinese customers through a partnership with local producer Huahong.
The company revealed that its initial shipment of microcontrollers was manufactured entirely within China, marking a significant milestone in the collaboration. STMicroelectronics indicated that it intends to scale up local manufacturing of new STM32 product lines throughout the remainder of this year.
The move represents the semiconductor giant’s strategy to establish production capabilities closer to one of its key markets in Asia.
