In addition, the acquisition creates new opportunities in the field of physical AI, such as humanoid robots. We are excited to welcome several hundred highly skilled and motivated employees to the Infineon team and look forward to elevating the use of Ethernet technology to new scales."
Ethernet is a key enabling technology for low-latency, high-bandwidth communication. It quickly and reliably transfers large amounts of data between components such as microcontrollers, processors and sensors. This makes it crucial for software-defined vehicles and, additionally, it has significant potential in adjacent fields of use such as humanoid robots. The transaction will allow Infineon to provide its customers with even more comprehensive solutions, combining the strengths of Marvell's Automotive Ethernet portfolio with Infineon's existing microcontroller and system expertise.
"We're incredibly proud of what our team has achieved in building a world-class Automotive Ethernet business," said Matt Murphy, Chairman and CEO of Marvell. "Through relentless innovation and deep partnerships across the automotive industry, they've established a leadership position in this critical technology area. Infineon is the right company to take this business to the next level – with the scale, portfolio breadth, and customer reach to unlock its full potential. We're confident this move will create exciting opportunities for continued growth, and we look forward to seeing the team thrive as part of Infineon."
Ethernet connectivity solutions are vital to software-defined vehicles as they are the backbone of communication for E/E-architectures. Marvell's Brightlane™ Automotive Ethernet portfolio, comprising PHY transceivers, switches, and bridges, delivers high-performance networking capabilities, supporting data rates from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, and provides the necessary security and safety features for both current and future in-vehicle networks.
The business's design-win pipeline of around $4 billion by 2030 and strong innovation roadmap offers significant potential for future revenue growth. In the calendar year 2025, the business is expected to generate revenue of US$225 – US$250 million with a gross margin of around 60 percent. The purchase price amounted to US$2.5 billion. Infineon finances the acquisition through a combination of existing liquid funds and additional debt capital. The company has secured the acquisition financing from banks.
Infineon aims to further expand the newly acquired Ethernet business, by driving innovation and quickly converting it into customer value. The entire Ethernet competence will be bundled in a newly created "Ethernet Solutions" business line within Infineon's Automotive division.
The acquisition will further strengthen Infineon's already strong presence in the US, including extensive activities in research and development.

Statement from Minister Hajdu Français
GATINEAU, QC, Aug. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, issued the following statement regarding the collective bargaining negotiations between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE): "After eight months of negotiations by the parties, and after meeting with both parties last night and urging them to work hard to reach a deal, it is disappointing to have to conclude today that Air Canada and CUPE flight attendants are at an impasse and remain unable to resolve their dispute. The government firmly believes that the best deals are reached by the parties at the bargaining table. It has now become clear that this dispute won't be resolved at the table. Canadians are increasingly finding themselves in very difficult situations and the strike is rapidly impacting the Canadian economy. Flight attendants play a critical role in keeping Canadian families and workers safe as they travel. It is important that they be compensated fairly at all times. The enormous impact of a nationwide labour disruption of this scale is already being felt by Canadians and visitors to our country. This impact will grow significantly with a prolonged dispute. This nationwide labour disruption is impeding the movement of passengers and critical cargo. In a year in which Canadian families and businesses have already experienced too much disruption and uncertainty, this is not the time to add additional challenges and disruptions to their lives and our economy. Canadians rely on air travel to connect families, workers, and communities to each other and the world. Despite significant supports from the government, these parties have been unable to resolve their differences in a timely manner. The government must act to preserve stability and supply chains in this unique and uncertain economic context. That is why I exercised my authorities under section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board to arbitrate this dispute. I am exercising this authority because it is critical to maintaining and securing industrial peace, protecting Canadians and promoting conditions to resolve the dispute. Despite the parties' resolution of several key differences, the CIRB is best positioned to help them find a solution on the outstanding items. Accordingly, I have asked the Board to assist the parties in reaching a settlement of the outstanding terms of their collective agreement by imposing final and binding arbitration and to extend the terms of the existing collective agreement until a new one is determined by the arbitrator. This decision will help make sure that hundreds of thousands of Canadians and visitors to our country are not impacted because of cancelled flights. Further, the shipments of critical goods such as pharmaceuticals and organ tissue, over 40% of which are moved by Air Canada, should continue to reach their destinations. Once again, I urge the parties to work towards a fair and timely resolution."
