What Entegris does

Entegris is a NASDAQ-listed (ENTG) supplier of advanced materials, fluid handling, and contamination control solutions primarily serving semiconductor manufacturers. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, the company operates globally across major semiconductor manufacturing hubs including the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, Germany, France, and Israel, with approximately 7,700 employees and a market capitalization of approximately $26.1 billion. Revenue for 2025 totaled approximately $3.2 billion, with Q1 2026 net sales of $811.9 million (up 5% year-over-year), gross margin of 46.9%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.8%.

Entegris's product architecture spans four solution areas: Contamination Control (gas, liquid, and AMC filtration; purification), Fluid Management (fluoropolymer fittings, valves, tubing, chemical delivery, and process monitoring), Specialty Materials (premium graphite, PECVD coatings, silicon carbide components), and Substrate Handling (FOUPs, wafer carriers, CMP pads, slurries, and cleaning chemistries). The technology stack is anchored by proprietary CMP slurries for tungsten, dielectric, copper, aluminum, silicon, silicon carbide, and emerging materials; SiC slurries achieving 8–10 µm/hr removal rates with up to 80% recycling and 75% waste reduction; thermoset and thermoplastic polyurethane CMP pads (NexPlanar, Medea, Epic, Epic Power); and PVA post-CMP brushes. The company qualifies these materials into advanced logic (sub-10nm), DRAM, 3D NAND, and SiC power device processes.

Entegris generates revenue predominantly through direct enterprise sales of consumable materials (approximately 75% unit-driven) and capital equipment (approximately 25%), with multi-year contracts, undisclosed custom pricing via account managers, and a global field sales force backed by regional customer service centers. Customers include TSMC, Intel, and other leading semiconductor manufacturers; revenue mix is approximately 40% advanced logic and 30% memory. The company supplements organic R&D (~10% of revenue) with inorganic moves, including the $6.5 billion acquisition of CMC Materials in 2021 and the $700 million divestiture of Electronic Chemicals to FUJIFILM in 2023, and is expanding US capacity via up to $75 million in CHIPS Act funding for a Colorado Springs manufacturing center.

Core offering

Entegris supplies advanced materials and process solutions for semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing, organized around four solution areas: Contamination Control (gas/liquid filtration, AMC filters, purification systems), Fluid Management (fittings, valves, tubing, chemical delivery, process monitoring), Specialty Materials (premium graphite, advanced coatings, SUPERSiC silicon carbide components), and Substrate Handling (FOUPs, wafer carriers, CMP pads, slurries, cleaning chemistries). It also delivers single-use fluid management products to biopharmaceutical customers under its Life Sciences sub-brand. Roughly 75% of revenue comes from unit-driven consumables such as slurries, filters, and gases, and 25% from capital equipment such as FOUPs and fluid handling systems.
