Manufacturing anything large is an international affair these days.

"ASML has five manufacturing locations worldwide. Our lithography systems are assembled in cleanrooms in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, while some critical subsystems are made in different factories in San Diego, California, and Wilton, Connecticut, as well as other modules and systems in Linkou and Tainan, Taiwan."

And you can assume those factories depend on sub-assemblies from lower tier factories which are made in even more places.
