My journey to Applied Materials
Alighting the mini van that brought us to the Applied Materials factory after a 45 minutes journey, I was greeted with a reception that looked more in place in an office building than in a factory. This puzzled me: wasn't this a factory trip? I stowed that thought aside and turned to examining the Applied Material Logo, 6 L-shaped lines, 3 upright joined with 3 rotated 180 degrees, forming a squarish 'a'. My first thought was: maybe it formed the acronym of Applied Materials 'AP'?
