Sole EUV CO2 laser supplier

TRUMPF

The de-facto sole supplier of the high-power CO2 laser for ASML EUV light sources (LPP), firing at tin droplets to create 13.5nm EUV plasma. ASML invested directly in TRUMPF (as it did in Zeiss); in 2025 TRUMPF won ASML’s Supplier Award (Technology) for a next-gen high-energy EUV laser. Its core business is industrial lasers and machine tools. Private (Germany).

A monopoly in CO2 lasers for EUV light sources (exclusive to ASML; returns not tracked as it is private). Laser demand is underpinned as its customer ASML and the memory and foundry above it (SanDisk, Kioxia AI demand) rise. Exclusively supplying the high-power laser that makes EUV light, it is, with Zeiss, an invisible bottleneck of EUV lithography.
