"In a market environment that remains challenging, Infineon continues to hold up well," says Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. "The recovery in our target markets is progressing only slowly. Prolonged weak economic momentum has resulted in inventory levels in many areas overlaying end demand. In addition to managing the current demand cycle, we are working on further strengthening our competitiveness through the "Step Up" structural improvement program."
