ASML would like to expand in Veldhoven and the Eindhoven region long term, said the company's financial director, Roger Dassen, at the shareholders' meeting. Investors association VEB asked whether the chip machine manufacturer had enough space to grow in Noord-Brabant or if they have a plan B. "Of course, we have a plan B, but we want to expand here due to what Veldhoven and Eindhoven have to offer," Dassen answered. "The government also recognizes the circumstances we need to grow."
