✨ Today our Innovation Team visited ASML in Berlin, formerly known as Berliner Glas (founded in 1952). ASML Berlin plays a critical role in the production of ASML's EUV machines, supplying key components like wafer table, clamps, reticle chucks and mirror blocks. These parts are essential to the production of microchips - powering smartphones, computers and countless other devices in our daily lives. We were very happy to “nerd out” and witness firsthand the intricate process of manufacturing mirror blocks! 🙏 Many thanks to Andreas Nitze, Markus Matthes, Kai Pacholski and Toni Schure for your invitation, for all the information you have provided us with and for the factory tour. You were so generous sharing your expertise and providing a closer look at the technologies driving innovation in this highly specialized industry! #NetherlandsInnovationNetwork #Lithography
