Map of Veldhoven (town), Dec. 2013
The modern town of Veldhoven is an agglomeration of former rural villages that in the twentieth century grew together to form one large suburban area catering to Eindhoven commuter needs. The villages are: Veldhoven proper to the southwest; Meerveldhoven to the southeast; Oerle to the west; and Zeelst to the northeast. A new city center was constructed between Zeelst and Veldhoven.
Veldhoven is home to the headquarters of the manufacturer of high-tech (semiconductor) lithography equipment ASML. As of 2022, the company employed over 14,000 people—equivalent to nearly one third of the town's population.[5] ASML occupies the tallest building (83 meters) in Veldhoven. The municipality features a large industrial and office area along the Gender, which also includes the second-largest hospital in the Eindhoven urban region, Máxima Medisch Centrum.
Veldhoven Centrum has over 100 shops with famous brands covering restaurants, groceries, fashion products, jewelry and banks, and a market every Monday for fruit and produce. It also has services such as a library and municipal and VVV offices.
The yearly festival Cult en Tumult offers a varied program of art and culture in the broadest sense. Theatre De Schalm is near the City Centrum.
The spoken language is Kempenlands (anEast Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).[6]
The current town council of Veldhoven was elected at the 2022 local elections.
