Background
editPNC was founded in 2000 by Jiang Yuan. She was previously the marketing director at Kinetics Process Systems before leaving with her team to establish PNC.[2]
Although the company initially experienced difficulty, according to Jiang by 2010, the company no longer required any loans or external financing.[2]
In 2017, PNC held its initial public offering becoming a listed company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Around this time, PNC established its wet cleaning equipment division which became the focus of the company.[3]
In 2019, PNC acquired optoelectronics firm, Bandweaver Technologies for 680 million yuan.[4]
In December 2023, the United States Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security added PNC to the Unverified List.[5]
In February 2024, The Korea Times reported four Samsung Electronics employees were arrested in the previous month for sharing the company's latest semiconductor surface cleaning equipment technology with PNC.[6]
Customers of PNC include Samsung, SK Hynix, TSMC, SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, Yangtze Memory Technologies, ChangXin Memory Technologies and Silan Microelectronics.[3]
