The company was founded as original design manufacturer in 2006 by a former STMicroelectronics engineer, Zhang Xuezheng.[4] Wingtech's main business includes semiconductor chip design, wafer manufacturing, optical imaging and communication product integration.[5] The company is partially owned by several state-owned enterprises under the direction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC).[1][3]
In 2019, Wingtech acquired Nexperia.[5] The Nexperia semiconductor subsidiary, originally Royal Philips semiconductor, manufactures wafers.[6][7][8] In 2021, Wingtech acquired Ofilm Group, a former iPhone camera module supplier.[4] In 2023, Wingtech agreed to sell the Inmos microprocessor factory following a UK government divestment order on national security concerns.[9]
During the 2022 COVID-19 protests in China, Wingtech was reported by The Wall Street Journal to gain an additional foothold in Apple's supply chain following protests at a Foxconn factory in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone.[10]
In December 2024, Wingtech was targeted in a new round of US export controls and added to the United States Department of Commerce's Entity List.[11]
