𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗲, Chief Executive Officer of Magnachip:
“Navitas’ investment represents an important next step in our strategic partnership and demonstrates a shared commitment to the opportunities we are pursuing together,” said Chae Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Magnachip. “By combining Navitas’ proven GeneSiC technology and materials ecosystem with Magnachip’s power semiconductor expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer relationships, we believe we can accelerate our entry into attractive high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage markets. More importantly, we believe the combination of Navitas’ SiC technology with Magnachip’s silicon power technologies and manufacturing capabilities creates opportunities to develop a new generation of differentiated power solutions that address emerging customer needs that we believe are not adequately served by products available today. We look forward to deepening our collaboration as we execute our long-term growth strategy.”

“Magnachip is an important strategic partner for Navitas, and this investment reflects our confidence in the relationship and the value we believe the two companies can create together in the years ahead,” said Chris Allexandre, President and Chief Executive Officer of Navitas. “Our initial technology and licensing collaboration established a strong foundation. This investment further aligns our interests and reflects our shared belief that the combination of our complementary technologies can create new opportunities across high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage applications. We look forward to working closely with Magnachip to expand the adoption of advanced GeneSiC technologies and explore opportunities for broader technology and product collaboration.”
