Siltronic

The hyperpure silicon wafers produced by Siltronic AG serve as the foundation for contemporary micro- and nanotechnology. One of the top producers of wafers for the semiconductor industry worldwide is a Munich-based business. In 2020, it was revealed that Siltronic would be sold for around 3.7 billion euros to the Taiwanese firm GlobalWafers, a division of Sino-American Silicon Products (SAS). In 2021, the offer was raised to around 4.4 billion euros.

The two businesses claimed that the merger would provide a top supplier to the wafer sector with a wide range of goods and the capacity to provide cutting-edge products to all semiconductor clients. Advanced negotiations about a purchase offer from GlobalWafers are almost finished at Siltronic AG. However, the transaction's regulatory approval was delayed. In 2016, GlobalWafers previously purchased the semiconductor division of SunEdison.

The market capitalization of Siltronic as of March 2023 was $2.26 billion. By market cap, Siltronic is now the 3521st most valuable company in the world. The most recent financial reports from Siltronic indicate that the company's current revenue (TTM) is $1.81 billion. The company generated $1.63 billion in revenue in 2021, an increase from $1.39 billion in 2020.
