KETEK

KETEK GmbH is a Munich-based manufacturer of specialised semiconductor components, working in the power and analog layer of Europe's chip industry rather than leading-edge logic. On 14 July 2026 the European Commission approved KETEK for €17.9m in German state aid under the EU Chips Act, one of four projects sharing a €659m package alongside Element 3-5, Vishay and KLA-Tencor's metrology Arm, taking cumulative Chips Act aid to roughly €14.2bn.

The award sits at the specialist end of Europe's semiconductor base, precision chip production rather than the sub-7-nanometre logic that runs AI systems, the layer where the EU's sovereignty ambitions are most exposed. Public detail on KETEK's ownership, revenue and workforce is limited; this is the extent of its confirmed public record as of July 2026.
