Zeiss expands German production capacity by 25,000 m² to support ASML's 30% production increases in 2027-2028, strengthening the sole supplier of EUV lithography optics on which all advanced chip manufacturing depends.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply materials, equipment or services into chip fabs or photomask production, Zeiss just signalled three years of capacity growth - which means your customers' capex budgets are about to unlock. Call TSMC, Samsung, Intel and SK Hynix now to map what they're building.
