At this particular time Infineon is playing a key role in supporting the production of ventilation devices. Indeed, Infineon's power semiconductors are essential to reliably and efficiently control the motor of ventilators, including those manufactured by a global leader in medical devices such as ResMed.
Helmut Gassel, Member of the Board of Directors and Cmo of Infineon, said: "We are pleased to be able to help overcome this crisis with around 38 million power semiconductors for the production of medical ventilators. As the market leader for these components, we are focusing on making these products available at short notice."
An unprecedented challenge
Mick Farrell, CEO of ResMed, said: "Infineon's efforts to rapidly supply these semiconductors are truly life-saving. ResMed and other ventilator manufacturers can only meet the worldwide demand for these devices if component manufacturers like Infineon can meet our requirements. Special thanks go to Infineon and the other manufacturers who have taken on a challenge like this that is unprecedented."
"We are currently experiencing a shift in activity towards the medical equipment sector. Many manufacturers are expanding or changing their product focus, and are asking us for the components they need to quickly meet this particular demand," Gassel added.
