We are the leader in materials engineering solutions that are at the foundation of virtually every new semiconductor and advanced display in the world. The solutions we create are essential to advancing AI and accelerating the commercialization of next-generation chips. For more than 55 years, our innovations have improved the lives of billions of people around the globe who may never know us by name, but who rely on us every day as they interact with technology. The world’s brightest minds—visionaries, engineers, scientists—bring their expertise in materials engineering and come together at Applied with a collection of diverse opinions, experiences and backgrounds. It began in 1967 when a group of entrepreneurs joined to create a chemistry supply company called Applied Materials Technology. Over the next 55 years, that small venture transformed into a global leader. The people of Applied Materials, their discoveries, and the products they create provide the foundational building blocks for the semiconductor industry. In 2023, Applied Materials announced the Equipment and Process Innovation and Commercialization (EPIC) Center in Silicon Valley representing the largest-ever U.S. investment in advanced semiconductor equipment R&D. It is designed from the ground up to dramatically reduce the time it takes to commercialize breakthrough technologies from early-stage research to full-scale manufacturing. It does this by increasing speed, accuracy and efficiency through tighter collaboration and faster cycles of learning. With state of the art cleanroom space for collaborative R&D, the EPIC Center is on track to become operational in 2026. Today, in labs around the world, our scientists are developing technologies and using materials in ways no one would have thought possible. We foster an innovation network through venture investments and joint research and development programs with universities, customers, partners, and research institutes. Applied leads the world in manufacturing semiconductor and display equipment. At our advanced manufacturing facilities around the globe, we assemble, integrate and test various proprietary and commercial parts, components and subassemblies that are used to manufacture systems that make chips used in many of today’s electronics. Our values define who we are as a company, inspire us to be better and drive our success. Collaborate broadly to solve customer high-value problems faster and better Achieve great results together in an environment where employees can do their best work Operate with mutual trust and respect to make
