The main company there is Zeiss in Germany that makes all the high grade optics. Part of the reason ASML is Dutch is it has access to the German precision manufacturing up-stream, quite literally.

ASML’s laser equipment is made mainly in US by Cymer
The lasers are made by Trumpf in Germany.
Zeiss makes parts of the ASML machines. GP comment asks what machine make the ASML/Zeiss machines.

CNC machines I guess for everything besides the optics? Just a guess. And measuring equipment.

The only 2 companies that i know are invaluable for this is ASML and IMEC ( Belgium)
