How Melexis NV evolved into its modern technology business

Melexis has supplied semiconductors since 1989, initially working in ASICs and chip-on-board assembly before increasingly focusing on sensing and sensor-interface technologies.

How Melexis NV developed

The Belgian company built a strong position in automotive electronics as vehicles added more electronic measurement and control functions, expanding into magnetic, temperature, pressure, infrared and motor-control devices.

Melexis NV in 2026

By 2026, Melexis designed mixed-signal semiconductor sensors, drivers and controllers used heavily in automotive systems as well as industrial and consumer applications.

Why the history matters

Its development shows how automotive semiconductor companies can grow through many relatively small chips distributed throughout a vehicle rather than through one central processor alone.
