Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer Infineon has opened a new factory in Cegléd, Hungary. The company has invested €100m ($97m) in the new fab facility and received support from the Hungarian government. The factory will assemble and test high-power semiconductor modules for the electrification of vehicles.
