ASML has started a recruitment drive for its newly established Center of Excellence (ACE) near Taipei, Taiwan that is intended to offer customers technology support and applications development, equipment support, training, logistics, and refurbishment. ACE will also handle local sourcing of equipment modules, components and services, according to ASML.

"The entire Asia-Pacific region is a key market for ASML; collectively it accounted for nearly two-thirds of our sales in 2006," said Eric Meurice, president and CEO. "By establishing ACE, we will ensure that ASML continues to meet the growing demands of customers throughout this important region." The Semiconductor Industry Association predicts that the entire Asia-Pacific region will see 12 percent growth year-over-year in 2007, outpacing industry growth in the rest of the world.

A new purpose-built facility is currently under construction and is expected to operational in the second quarter of 2008. A temporary facility is currently being used. ASML is recruiting for a wide range of skills and functions.
