ASML Holding NV shut a part of its German manufacturing site after a fire earlier this week, causing concern the closing could exacerbate a global chip shortage.
The fire impacted approximately 200 square meters out of a total 32,000 square meter Berlin-based site, according to the local fire brigade. Only the affected area remains closed and other areas of the manufacturing site are still operating, an ASML spokesperson told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
