ASML expansion in Veldhoven can proceed, Dutch court rules

AMSTERDAM: Semiconductor production equipment maker ASML may continue with an expansion under way at its headquarters in Veldhoven, the Netherlands’ Council of State ruled on Wednesday, rejecting objections from two neighbours.

The country’s highest administrative court said complaints that the new facilities would lead to traffic and noise problems were insufficient grounds to stop or alter the project, which was approved by Veldhoven’s town council in 2022.
