Press release - Veldhoven, The Netherlands, December 3, 2018
ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) expects some delay in deliveries during the start of 2019, due to a fire at one of its suppliers of electronics components and modules. The fire at a company named Prodrive occurred on Saturday morning and destroyed part of the supplier’s production capacity and some inventories.
ASML is supporting Prodrive to restart production. In addition, ASML is actively working with its network of other suppliers to secure alternative sources of components and materials.
ASML expects no change in its 2018 planned shipments. It will take several weeks for ASML to complete a detailed assessment of the impact.
"Fortunately, no persons were injured in this incident. We wish the management and employees of Prodrive all the best with their recovery process and will support them where we can," said ASML Chief Executive Officer and President Peter Wennink.
