– Approach strengthens position in the area of software -defined vehicles and extends a top position for semiconductors for automotive applications as a whole
– Additional growth opportunities offer applications in the field of physical AI, such as humanoid robots
– Significant growth potential due to design-win-pipeline of around $ 4 billion by 2030
Infineon Technologies AG has completed the assumption of Marvell Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRVL). The transaction agreement had already been announced in April 2025 and all the necessary official permits have been granted in the meantime. With the takeover, Infineon strengthens system competence for software -defined vehicles and further expands the leading position in the area of microcontrollers for automotive applications.
“With the transaction, we strengthen our leading position in the field of automotive-neckers and reaffirm our strategy of profitable growth,” says Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. “Together with our customers and partners and with an even more comprehensive portfolio, we are driving the change into a software-defined vehicle. In addition, the takeover of new possibilities in the field of physical AI, such as Humanoid robots. We are happy to greet several hundred highly qualified and motivated employees in the Infineon team and to lead the Ethernet technology into new dimensions.”
Ethernet is a key technology for communication with low latency and high bandwidth. The technology quickly and reliably transmits large amounts of data between components such as microcontrollers, processors and sensors. This makes it indispensable for software -defined vehicles and also has considerable potential in adjacent application areas such as humanoid robots. Through the transaction, Infineon can combine the strengths of Marvell’s Automotive Ethernet portfolio with its own microcontroller and system competence and thus offer customers even more comprehensive solutions.
“We are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved with the establishment of a world-class automotive ethernet business,” says Matt Murphy, Chairman and CEO by Marvell. “Through tireless innovation and close partnerships in the entire automotive industry, the team has achieved a leading position in this important technology area. Infineon is the right company to raise the business to the next level: with the necessary scale advantages, a wide portfolio and a wide range of customers, it can exhaust the full potential. creates, and we look forward to seeing the team as part of Infineon. “
Ethernet connectivity solutions are of crucial importance for software-defined vehicles because they represent the backbone of communication for E/E architectures. The Brightlane ™ Automotive Ethernet portfolio from Marvell, which includes phy-transceiver, switches and bridges, offers high-performance network functions that support data rates from 100 Mbit/s to 10 GBIT/s and provide the necessary safety functions for current and future vehicle networks.
The company’s design-winning pipeline of around $ 4 billion by 2030 and the strong innovation roadmap offer considerable potential for future sales growth. In the calendar year 2025, the company is expected to achieve sales of $ 225 to $ 250 million with a gross margin of around 60 percent. The purchase price amounts to $ 2.5 billion. Infineon finances the takeover by a combination of existing liquid funds and additional debt. The company has ensured the financing of the takeover by banks.
Infineon wants to further expand the newly acquired Ethernet business through innovations and its quick implementation in customer benefits. The entire Ethernet competence is bundled in the newly created “Ethernet Solutions” division within the automotive segment of Infineon. The acquisition will further strengthen the already strong presence of Infineon in the USA, including extensive activities in research and development.
