BERLIN -- Bosch is investing an additional 250 million euros ($282.50 million) in extending chip production facilities at its Reutlingen plant in Germany, the company said in a statement.
The Reutlingen site had previously been earmarked for 50 million euros of a total of 400 million that the supplier set aside last year for spending on chip production in 2022 across Reutlingen, Dresden and a testing facility in Penang, Malaysia.
The largest part of that budget was allocated to expanding its 1-billion-euro Dresden factory producing 300-millimeter wafers, which the group inaugurated in June.
The extra capacity at Reutlingen will come into force in 2025, Bosch said in the statement.
Bosch is ranked at No. 1 on the Automotive News Europe list of the top 100 global suppliers, with worldwide parts sales to automakers of $46.51 billion in 2020.
