Since 1978, Applied Materials has been a key player in France's semiconductor ecosystem, starting with a sales and service operation near Paris. In 1992, we formed Applied Materials France, expanded our operations, and relocated to Grenoble to take advantage of the rapidly growing semiconductor industry and research opportunities in the region. Today, our expertise in materials engineering enables our customers in France and across the world to stretch the possibilities of technology and make the world we live in smarter, faster, more powerful and more connected.

We deliver a wide range of solutions to our customers, from research and development (R&D) process and equipment engineering, to advanced remote and on-site maintenance services. These services enable our customers to produce the semiconductors that fuel technological innovations and progresses.
