Re: Newport Wafer factory
Not had a chance to read the articles but arranged for my team to visit Wafer Fab (when I worked on a CI team) and it’s a fantastic place.

Don't be too despondent. There will always be stories in sectors to focus on, but the UK is doing significantly better than over the water in terms of manufacturing at the moment. Germany and the Eurozone in contraction.

UK still, just about growing..Tough times ahead for us all perhaps, though

Re: Newport Wafer factory
We’re on the verge of stopping production in all of our factories because of wafer shortages, Texas Instruments can currently only provide 25% of their demand from China. A well known German car manufacturer, has set up a new vehicle line for 600 per day but can only build 2 per hour because of component shortages. By the end of August we’ll be on complete stop.
