AMSTERDAM, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Dutch-headquartered

semiconductor maker NXP expects sales growth averaging

6%-10% over the next three years, CEO Kurt Sievers said on

Thursday.

Speaking at the company's investor day in Boston, Sievers

said the automotive chipmaker's gross margins should be around

60%, with growth coming from increasing adoption of its S32

platform.

NXP reported third-quarter earnings on Monday that showed

weakness in industrial and automotive markets in Europe and the

Americas.
