STMicroelectronics capacity at Crolles
STMicroelectronics on the Crolles 300mm fab, beyond the 2027 target, stated 2025-04-10. One statement, with the wording it was made in. Nothing here is computed and nothing is added to anything else.
What was stated
Issued 2025-04-10 by STMicroelectronics · STMicroelectronics details company-wide program to reshape manufacturing footprint and resize global cost base, 10 April 2025
A planned figure: capacity the publisher said the site is expected to reach. A promise and a measurement are different facts and this record never puts them in one column.
upper bound The publisher stated a ceiling, not a figure.
Wafer basis: 300mm actual. Two figures on different bases are 2.25 times apart before anything real has changed, which is why no figure here is shown without one.
A ceiling with a condition attached in the publisher's own words: "depending on market conditions". The condition is part of the statement and stays in it. Read from the GlobeNewswire distribution of the same release, because ST's own page for it renders its body with a script and returns only navigation to a plain fetch: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/10/3059167/0/en/STMicroelectronics-details-company-wide-program-to-reshape-manufacturing-footprint-and-resize-global-cost-base.html
What this figure covers
Publishers state capacity at whatever level suits them: a phase, a site, a joint venture, a company. This one covers the sites below and no others.
The Crolles 300mm fab, beyond the 2027 target
| Fab | Site | Country | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crolles fab | Crolles | FR | operating |
This figure is never added to another. This record holds a capacity statement for 2 of the 4 STMicroelectronics sites it lists, so a sum of what is here would be a company total built from an incomplete set and published by nobody.
Everything stated about this site
2 statements, oldest first. A later figure never overwrites an earlier one here, so what was said before is still readable, with its date.

The figure in the publisher's own words, what it covers, the basis it is counted on, and the source. A capacity figure quoted without its basis or its coverage is the failure this block exists to prevent.

One line. The value is deliberately not repeated here: on a slide the number is on the slide, and a footnote that restates it is one edit away from disagreeing with it.

Two lines, tab separated: the headings and one row. The wafer basis and the qualifiers are columns rather than notes, so a row pasted into a model carries them where the model can see them.
Elsewhere in this record
No values here, only where to find them. Two capacity figures side by side is a comparison, and these are not comparable unless they share a wafer basis.
