when it changed from American company to Dutch, not French :D
Quoting ASML themselves (from here: https://www.asml.com/en/company/about-asml/history)
In 1984, electronics giant Philips and chip-machine manufacturer Advanced Semiconductor Materials International (ASMI) created a new company to develop lithography systems for the growing semiconductor market. Called ASM Lithography, we began our days inauspiciously, located in a leaky shed next to a Philips office in Eindhoven, the Netherlands
It was a Phillips spinoff company. I don't know if it was independent or just guys from Phillips asked to start a new company under an umbrella company.
