The semiconductor manufacturer Siltronic, which has a plant in Freiberg, Saxony, expects the business environment to remain difficult after a bleak 2025. Price pressure in the industry will continue in 2026 outside of long-term contracts, the company announced in the course of publishing its preliminary results for 2025. This would be compounded by negative exchange rate effects.
The company closed its site for the production of smaller wafers for the chip industry in Burghausen, Bavaria, last year. This will leave its mark, it added. There is no detailed forecast for the new year yet. Investors will probably have to wait until the final annual figures are presented in March, when information on the net result for 2025 is also expected.
