Right to the Point
We're thrilled to roll out an exciting new chapter in the Applied Materials brand story—it’s all about material innovation.
Anything and everything that generates, transmits, stores or processes data requires semiconductor chips. And we produce virtually every new chip (and display!) in the world.
We push the boundaries of materials science and engineering to create next generation technology for the benefit of people and the planet. We co-innovate at high speed with our partners, bringing together the brightest minds and best ideas to create unique solutions. And we solve our customers’ highest value challenges faster by bringing to market a connected portfolio of groundbreaking products and services.
We deliver material innovation that changes the world.

Evolution of Our Story
In our very early days, Applied’s brand was a representation of what the company did—selling and manipulating chemicals for the semiconductor industry. Remember our logo with the flask?
At the turn of the century, Applied embarked on a transformative journey by featuring nanomanufacturing technology that represented our expanded strategic direction. We had expanded globally and were growing our revenue. It was the beginning of a new era.
Fast forward to about ten years ago when Applied refreshed its tagline and vision statement to Make Possible™ a Better Future. It was a commitment to our responsibility as leaders to make the world a better place by understanding the power of technology to improve people’s lives, taking a holistic approach to business to consider environmental impact and recognizing our global teams where differences are respected.
This idea remains the vision of Applied. And today, we are evolving the brand to further show how our material innovation continues to make a real, meaningful difference for our customers, employees, partners and for the world.
Keeping Silicon in Silicon Valley and Beyond
As we approach our 60th anniversary, a milestone nearly three times the average of companies on today’s S&P, we are excited to move into the next phase of our corporate story.
What started with five people in 1967 is now sustained by about 35,700 employees in 24 countries around the world. What started with $17 million in revenue has blossomed to over $27 billion in revenue. And what started as a company selling chemicals to the semiconductor industry has grown to a company with over 22,000 patents.
Why It Matters
Material innovation reshapes industries and lives through innovative materials science and engineering solutions.
One of the largest technology inflections of our lifetime is AI. In a world of incremental technology improvements, our innovations create fundamental advances and breakthroughs, including in AI. With almost infinite possible uses, AI is the most transformative technology change of our lifetimes and a major catalyst for innovation and growth across the technology sector.
We believe that material innovation is also represented through tackling the most important problems and delivering results with measurable benefits. This is reflected in the world’s first-of-its-kind R&D facility called EPIC Center Silicon Valley. Velocity, collaboration and connectivity will drive life-changing technology advances throughout the world.
We are only at the beginning of what's next.
Applied’s winning team philosophy, along with responsibility and integrity, drives our world class performance and makes us the most valued partner to our customers and partners. We look forward to the next generation of semiconductor leadership and the advances still to come in materials engineering. Advances that will propel us into the next generations of computing, AI and environmental sustainability.
We deliver material innovation that changes the world.
