STMicroelectronics is one of the world's largest semiconductor companies and Europe's most important chipmaker, producing microcontrollers, MEMS sensors, power management ICs, and automotive chips across fabs in France, Italy, and Singapore. As a Franco-Italian company born from the merger of SGS Microelettronica and Thomson Semiconducteurs, it represents a rare European success story in high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. STMicro's continued investment in European fabrication capacity, including its new SiC and 300mm wafer fabs, is critical to reducing the continent's dependence on Asian chip production.
