- nine_k 4y agoTo tell the truth, ARM Holdings was founded by Acorn, a British company, and VLSI, an American company, with Apple, also an American company, investing some cash. Eventually the likes of Texas Instruments and other US companies joined, and a ton of smaller Eoropean companies was bought / merged in. So it's a truly cross-Atlantic venture. OTOH ASML is definitely European, and, frankly, has no serious competition anywhere on the planet.
