Over the past fifteen years, Settels Savenije has carried out numerous projects for ASML. These projects have been instrumental in growing Settels into a high-tech company that works for a variety of larger international enterprises. Settels’ Sven Pekelder discusses the company’s evolution with ASML’s Ton Aantjes.

The Brainport region is unique in its capacity to combine the strengths of multiple companies to offer one overall solution to their customers. With its open innovation philosophy on working with suppliers, research institutes and strategic partners, ASML plays an important role in the region.

One of these Brainport companies is Settels Savenije. ‘ASML has been our customer for fifteen years now,’ says CTO Sven Pekelder. ‘Our team started off as part of a job assignment programme. We became familiar with ASML’s technology and methodologies. After five years the first design projects were outsourced to our company. At present, on average, two or three of our teams work concurrently on ASML-related programmes.’
