Then and Now
The evolution of the semiconductor industry started with Applied’s spirit of #MakePossible. In 1967, a group of entrepreneurs created a chemistry supply company and in the past 55+ years, we continue to provide the foundation for the global semiconductor industry.
Today, Applied drives technology forward. With more than 22,000 patents and over $3 billion invested in research and development, we foster a culture of creativity and problem-solving. Our inventors maintain a spark of ingenuity, a willingness to tackle complex issues and create solutions that push boundaries.
