What happened
ASML has begun construction on a major new production campus in the Netherlands, according to reports on Tuesday.
The project is designed to eventually accommodate up to 20,000 additional workers, with the first phase slated for completion in 2029.
The initial phase will include office space, logistics facilities, and cleanroom environments essential for manufacturing specialized equipment.
Why it matters
The expansion underscores ASML's efforts to keep pace with surging demand driven by the artificial intelligence boom.
A new 'flow factory' design is intended to enable faster and more efficient assembly of its giant chip-making tools, potentially boosting production capacity.
