ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026

ASML, a Dutch company that specializes in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, claims it sold no products in Europe in 2026. The company is calling on the European Union to help create demand for its products in the region. ASML's CEO, Peter Wennink, stated that the company's sales in Europe were 'absolutely nothing' due to a lack of investment in semiconductor manufacturing in the region. He emphasized the need for the EU to invest in the sector to make Europe a more competitive player in the global market. Wennink also noted that the lack of investment in semiconductor manufacturing in Europe has resulted in a significant trade deficit for the region.
