Dear Customer,
as our major manufacturing sites are located in Europe and US we don’t perceive major supply chain issues during the Olympics .

Dear customers,
following the news shared recently of the intention of the Chinese Government to shut down polluting factories in the Beijing area in occasion of the 2008 Olympic Games, we would like to inform you that we are expecting that this action will not have a direct influence on NXP manufacturing or sales operations in Beijing and surrounding area. Our teams are closely monitoring the evolution of the situation, waiting for conclusive official statements from local authorities. We are also verifying with our customers and suppliers possible side effects of these measures on local transportation in order to prevent any possible impact on operations.

At the National People's Congress held on March 12th, 2008, PRC government announced that all polluting factories within a 200 kilo meter radius of Beijing should be shutdown for 9 weeks to clear the smog for the Olympics and Paralympics through the press release. As long as we know, the policy has made neither any impact on the production, procurement, nor logistics of Renesas Group. In case we find negative influence or difficulties caused, we will inform you as soon as possible.

Xilinx is fully aware of the measures being taken by the Chinese government to shutdown all polluting factories for 9 weeks within a 200 kilometer radius of Beijing to clear the smog for the Olympics games. We have one supplier in China: the Hejian' fab located in JiangSu province (close to Shanghai) and which is also about 1400 kilometers away from Beijing. The fab will not be affected by the Chinese government actions including power, transportation, material/chemical suppliers, etc.
