IMTEC Acculine by White Knight

What IMTEC Acculine by White Knight does

White Knight Fluid Handling Inc., operating commercially under brands including IMTEC Acculine, is a US-based manufacturer of high-purity fluid handling equipment and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG). The company's headquarters and manufacturing operations are in Kamas, Utah, where products are assembled, tested, and packaged in a Class 100 cleanroom. Its legal domicile is Utah, and it maintains an ISO 9001 quality management certification. PCT Systems Inc., a California-based manufacturer, has been acquired and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, expanding the group's product portfolio and manufacturing footprint.

The company's core technology centers on chemically inert PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) fluid paths used in sealless bellows pumps, diaphragm pumps, metering pumps, PTFE valves, filter housings, debubblers, pressure vessels, pressure regulators, pulsation dampeners, and spray guns. Complementary offerings include the Heateflex line of DI water heaters, inline fluid heaters, PFA immersion tank heaters, and PVDF/PFA heat exchangers; the Accubath line of heated quartz, PTFE/PVDF/PFA/NPP, and sapphire wet etch process tanks; and the Accumeg and HyperClean megasonic cleaning systems. These products target contamination control, precise chemical metering, and durability in aggressive chemistries typical of semiconductor wet processing.

White Knight serves semiconductor fabrication, solar/PV cell manufacturing, LED production, flat-panel display, and general electronics manufacturers. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of pumps, heaters, wet process tanks, valves, and accessories, executed primarily via a global distributor network with direct engagement through demo pump programs and custom testing services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company also localizes its website in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean, supporting an international sales footprint centered on key semiconductor manufacturing regions.
