STMicroelectronics Initiates STM32 Chip Production in China
STMicroelectronics announces the start of volume deliveries of STM32 microcontrollers manufactured in China, marking a significant milestone in its global supply chain strategy. This local production, in partnership with Huahong, initially targets general-purpose microcontrollers, with expansions planned for 2026.
Launch of Localized STM32 Microcontroller Production
STMicroelectronics has commenced the delivery of the first batches of STM32 microcontrollers fully manufactured in China by Huahong. The company has established a completely localized STM32 supply chain, covering all stages of production: front-end wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, and packaging. The locally produced STM32 microcontrollers utilize the same 40 nm embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) technology and adhere to the same quality control standards as those from the group's global factories, ensuring seamless compatibility with STMicroelectronics' global quality standards.

Additional families of STM32 microcontrollers, including performance-oriented, secure, and entry-level series, are scheduled for local volume production in 2026. STMicroelectronics becomes the first global semiconductor company to offer a dual supply chain model, providing customers in China with a unique choice between locally manufactured microcontrollers and those produced outside of China, while maintaining globally consistent quality and compatibility. The partnership with Huahong, which has been in place for 15 years, has been strengthened for this initiative. Packaging and testing are handled by STMicroelectronics' Shenzhen factory and by local assembly and testing partners (OSAT).
