Infineon doubles packaging capacity in Indonesia
Infineon Technologies is expanding its backend operations in Indonesia, buying a neighbouring site from PT Unisem.
PT Infineon Technologies Batam is buying manufacturing buildings that will double Infineon’s production area in the region when fully operational in 2024. The expansion will see the Batam site increase its focus on the assembly and test of automotive products.
Packaging is highlighted as a key part of the supply chain. The expansion in Batam is part of Infineon’s long-term investment strategy of €2.4bn this year.

“Infineon is making another step in strengthening its global operations network. We are committed to investing into continued structural growth and to strengthen the resilience of our supply chain,” said Alexander Gorski, Executive Vice President and responsible for Infineon’s global Backend Operations.
“In view of increasing demand for automotive semiconductors and to the benefit of our customers, this purchase is allowing us to add backend capacities faster than with the greenfield construction of a new site,” said Dr Thomas Kaufmann, Executive Vice President and COO of Infineon’s Automotive Division.
PT Infineon Technologies Batam is a backend manufacturing site and employs over 2,000 employees. It is located within the Batamindo Industrial Park and part of the Indonesia-Singapore-Malaysia growth triangle.
