Where is ASML headquartered?

ASML's global headquarters is at De Run 6501, 5504 DR Veldhoven, Netherlands — a small city adjacent to Eindhoven in the Dutch province of North Brabant. ASML moved to Veldhoven in 1985, one year after its founding in a temporary Eindhoven facility. The Veldhoven campus is ASML's largest R&D and manufacturing site globally, housing the Board of Management, all core EUV and DUV system integration, the majority of R&D teams, and global corporate functions. More than 22,000 of ASML's 44,175 employees work in Veldhoven.

In March 2026, Eindhoven city council approved — by a 35-6 vote — ASML's plans for a second major campus at Brainport Industries Campus (BIC) near Eindhoven Airport. The campus will eventually house 20,000 additional employees, with groundbreaking targeted for early 2026 and first occupancy planned for early 2028. Six of nine landowners have already agreed to the terms; the remaining three were compelled by a court order. The province of North Brabant also granted an exceptional nitrogen permit for the expansion. This effectively signals ASML expects its global headcount to approach or exceed 60,000 over the coming decade as semiconductor demand scales with AI infrastructure investment.

In the United States, ASML's most important site is Wilton, Connecticut — its second-largest global R&D hub with approximately 2,000+ employees, focused on DUV and EUV system engineering, optics, and customer support. San Diego, California is home to Cymer, ASML's wholly-owned light-source subsidiary, which develops the EUV and DUV excimer laser sources that power every scanner. Silicon Valley (San Jose, CA) houses computational lithography software and semiconductor R&D teams. Chandler, Arizona and Hillsboro, Oregon are customer support and field service centers serving Intel, Micron, and other US fabs.

In Asia, ASML's largest non-Japan sites are Linkou, Taiwan and Hsinchu Science Park (the Taiwan regional HQ), which together support TSMC, UMC, and other Taiwanese chipmakers with field service, applications engineering, and software development. South Korea (Hwaseong and Seoul) supports Samsung and SK Hynix with a global distribution center and training facilities. The Tokyo office serves Japan's semiconductor ecosystem including Kioxia and Renesas. In China, Hong Kong functions as the Asia Pacific regional headquarters, Shenzhen is ASML's largest Asian software R&D center, and Beijing hosts additional corporate functions. Berlin, Germany is home to Berliner Glas, ASML's wholly-owned optical components subsidiary acquired in 2020.

ASML's highest-concentration customer-facing teams are in Taiwan (TSMC, UMC), South Korea (Samsung, SK Hynix), and the United States (Intel, Micron, GlobalFoundries). For enterprise sellers targeting ASML, these are the zones where local field teams carry quota and where technical evaluation projects originate. The Veldhoven HQ is where strategic procurement, Board-level relationships, and company-wide technology standards decisions are made — making it essential for any vendor seeking enterprise-wide adoption.

Time-zone considerations matter practically. Veldhoven (CET/CEST) is 6–9 hours ahead of US Eastern time depending on daylight saving offsets, so US-headquartered vendors must staff early-morning overlap windows for HQ-level engagements. ASML's Wilton, CT site is the most accessible US beachhead — vendors selling into ASML's US engineering and procurement teams can engage there without requiring transatlantic travel. ASML's Taiwan offices (Hsinchu/Linkou) are the primary co-location points for the TSMC account team, and any vendor following chipmaker fab investments should track ASML's customer support footprint in those regions, which expands in parallel with each new fab.
