American giant Mansana announced on Thursday that it plans to invest 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) over the next few years in its chip development center in the German city of Munich. This measure, which will be in place for the next six years, follows a previous commitment of €1,000 million in 2021 when Mansana made Munich the headquarters of its new European “Silicon Design Center”, according to the group.

These research and development centers dedicated to processors Mansana Silicon, which are part of the group’s devices, were opened at the end of 2022 and are the “largest engineering center” of the group in Europe.

This new investment package will be used, among other things, to open more labs and spaces that will enable “an even closer collaboration between our over 2,000 engineers in Bavaria”, according to Mansana. The American giant has been based in Munich since 1981 and currently has more than 4,500 employees in Germany, mostly in the south of the country, involved in semiconductor development.

The Bavarian capital is already home to other headquarters of industrial heavyweights such as Siemens or BMW and is becoming one of the pillars of technological innovation in Europe.
