    Untrue. TSMC is just building a state of the art chip factory in Dresden, and they are certainly using ASML.

      So you seem to know more about ASML's business than the ASML executive quoted in this article.

        since when are executives statements meant to produce more investment into them trustable?

        even more so it is reasonable to assume their (executive) statement was a simplification ignoring small for the overall statement irrelevant exceptions

        like ignoring there being a factory build which is small and only meant for older nodes producing embedded chips and is for the car industry only

        because honestly while the factory does matter for Bosh, it doesn't really make much difference for the larger picture of chip production in the EU
