ASML plans to open a new Reuse & Repair Center in Beijing in 2025, acknowledging the significance of China as a major market for semiconductor technology. This facility will not produce chips but will focus on refurbishing materials from systems returned from the field. The move occurs amid escalating trade tensions with the U.S., which has imposed restrictions on chip manufacturing technology exports to China. In response, China has initiated investigations into U.S. subsidies affecting its semiconductor industry, as local researchers strive to develop alternative technologies to overcome export bans.
The new facility in Beijing will focus on reconditioning materials rather than manufacturing chips from scratch, highlighting ASML's strategic adaptation amid trade tensions.
ASML’s decision to open a facility in China underscores its recognition of the country as a vital market despite the ongoing trade restrictions from the U.S.
