White Knight Fluid Handling, Inc.

What White Knight Fluid Handling, Inc. does

White Knight Fluid Handling, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of high-purity, corrosion-resistant fluid handling components used in semiconductor, solar, LED, flat-panel display, and general electronics manufacturing. The company's products are built around all-fluoropolymer fluid paths using PTFE and PFA materials, eliminating metal exposure to deliver ultrapure chemical delivery, heating, circulation, dispensing, and reclamation at the wet-bench level. Core product families include air-operated PTFE bellows and diaphragm pumps (PA, PSD, PEM/PPM, PPMC series), high-purity fluid and gas heaters (Heateflex, Aquarius DI water heaters, IMTEC Acculine inline heaters), wet process tanks (Accubath quartz/PTFE/PVDF/PFA/sapphire), Accumeg and HyperClean megasonic cleaning systems, and ancillary components (PTFE valves, debubblers, filter housings, pressure regulators/vessels, pulsation dampeners). All products are assembled, tested, and packaged in a Class 100 cleanroom. The portfolio is delivered through multiple retained sub-brands — White Knight, Imtec Acculine, iPolymer, Heateflex, and PCT — built up through three acquisitions (IMTEC in 2019, iPolymer in 2022, PCT Systems in 2024).

The company operates a hybrid B2B go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales for OEM/fab accounts, a worldwide distributor network, a demo-pump program, and in-house custom laboratory testing services, supported by a multilingual website (English, Japanese, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Korean). Pricing is quote-based rather than published, consistent with engineered industrial equipment sales. Customer segmentation is vertical-focused, with semiconductor fabrication as the primary end market and solar, LED, displays, MedTech, Advanced Optics, and general industrial chemicals as secondary segments.

White Knight is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a publicly traded industrial fluid-handling company whose capital backing underwrites White Knight's acquisition strategy and operational scale. The company is headquartered in Kamas, Utah, with a secondary manufacturing footprint in San Jose, California (formerly PCT Systems), and reports 51–100 employees. Third-party certifications include Class 1 Division 2, IECEx, ATEX, CE, and UL 499 on hazardous-location heater products, certifying Intertek-tested equipment for global semiconductor and chemical-processing deployments.
