Micro Commercial Components (MCC) Update: June 30, 2026

Current Situation and Key Developments

• Restrictions on discretes from Micro Commercial Components (MCC) due to EU sanctions have introduced additional constraints on European customers, many of whom are already dealing with a tighter supply chain due to the Nexperia
• MCC announced it is undertaking internal audits in order to comply with the restrictions.
• Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology, MCC’s parent company and the original cause of the sanctions, is restructuring in an attempt to accommodate the restrictions and resume sales into the EU.

Recent MCC News

In April 2026, the European Union sanctioned Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology, a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer, as part of its updated Russia-related sanctions package. This action effectively restricted access to products from its subsidiary, Micro Commercial Components (MCC), for companies operating within the EU.

MCC is a relatively small supplier of discrete semiconductors but has recently benefited from increased demand due to Nexperia’s internal disruptions. The sanctions introduced an additional constraint for European customers, particularly in the automotive and industrial-electronics sectors, which were already more exposed to supply tightness stemming from the Nexperia situation.

MCC issued a letter to customers in early May indicating it would conduct internal audits to ensure compliance with the new EU trade restrictions. The company stated it would halt shipments of existing backlog to European customers while continuing to supply customers in all other regions as normal.

In mid-May, Yangzhou Yangjie agreed to divest Caswell Industries Ltd., the holding company that controls MCC’s Taiwan and US trading entities, to Hong Kong Lansheng Trading Ltd. This move appears aimed at restructuring ownership to better align with the requirements of the EU sanctions and potentially enable a path for future shipments into the region.

An initial down payment was made shortly after the agreement, with the transaction expected to close by the end of May upon receipt of the remaining funds. As of late June, there has been no formal confirmation that the deal has fully closed, although any delay may reflect administrative or banking processes rather than issues with the transaction itself.

While the EU proposed a delay in the sanctions on Yangzhou—and, by extension, MCC—the required vote to pass the proposal has not yet happened. Therefore, the sanctions remain in place.

End Results

Since Nexperia’s challenges began, spot shortages of MCC products have occurred roughly twice as often as before, with MCC’s own disruptions further contributing to a modest increase in tightness.
