STM in Milan

For example?

As far as I know it's a foundries supply issue going on, has nothing to do with STm being a reputable supplier.
For you're needs I'd guess they're as good as any other major vendor, and you could be facing similar issues with others throughout this year.
Well maybe some suppliers using foundries in mainland China could have a more stable supply this year, especially with you not facing any restrictions from them... but just guessing...

Yes, I also heard about those. They are the largest Cortex MCUs in the world, and come in a package with 14 pins and two carry handles for portability.
PS. Not sure about Milan, but STM had (and from what I see still has) fab plant in Singapore. I lived within 10 minutes driving distance from it. Not sure if this information helps in your selection of Cortex-M vendor.

1986ВЕ91T you won't believe it, the usual TQFP-100 in a plastic or ceramic case :)

I did hear recently that NXP is will be pulling out of MEMS production and transfer everything to STm, not sure about exact detail, but the fab should be in EU from what I remember. Could be the one in Milano.
My company is going back and forth between NXP and STm for mems accelerometer, for various reasons - supply, quality, qualification (automotive)... and I've been involved in some of the qualification procedures from the SW PoV, and about 3 months ago our MEMS expert mentioned this about STm fab in EU taking over completely MEMS production...
I would expect their cortex production do be done at one of the big foundries in TW, and not at their smaller fabs in Europe.
