X-FAB operates six wafer fabrication plants across Malaysia, Germany, France, and the United States, serving automotive, industrial, and medical sectors with analog/mixed-signal, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and photonics technologies. The tech stack—MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, SAP SuccessFactors, JMP, and SPICE—reflects a manufacturing-heavy operation managing process control and design validation at scale. Active projects around gallium nitride optimization, silicon photonics revenue strategy, and memory characterization flows signal ongoing capability expansion, while pain points around etching efficiency and ERP migration indicate operational complexity typical of multi-fab foundries.
