Established in 1999 as a spin-off from Siemens AG, the company is headquartered in Neubiberg, Germany, and has built a global reputation for its expertise in power semiconductors, microcontrollers and security controllers.
The company’s core business activities are organized around three key segments: Automotive, Industrial Power Control and Power & Sensor Systems. Infineon’s Automotive segment supplies microcontrollers, power modules and sensors that enable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), electric vehicle drivetrains and in-vehicle networking. Its Industrial Power Control segment delivers silicon carbide and IGBT modules, MOSFETs and gate drivers for renewable energy inverters, motor drives and uninterruptible power supplies. In the Power & Sensor Systems segment, Infineon provides a wide array of power management ICs, radio frequency components, sensors and security chips used in consumer electronics, smart devices and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Serving customers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and beyond, Infineon maintains production sites, research centers and sales offices across more than 30 countries. Key manufacturing and R&D locations include Germany, Austria, Malaysia and the Philippines, complemented by engineering hubs in India, China, France and the United States. The company works closely with automakers, industrial equipment manufacturers and electronics OEMs worldwide, positioning itself as a strategic partner in the transition toward electrification, automation and digital security.
Infineon has pursued growth through strategic acquisitions, most notably the 2015 purchase of International Rectifier and the 2020 acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor, broadening its capabilities in power management and embedded processing. Since January 2021, Jochen Hanebeck has served as President and Chief Executive Officer, leading a management team focused on innovation, operational excellence and sustainability. Under this leadership, Infineon continues to invest in next-generation materials, advanced packaging technologies and software-enabled solutions to address evolving industry requirements.
