PENTAGON TECHNOLOGIES TO BUILD SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT CLEANING FACILITY IN MESA

Representing an over $50 million investment, the facility will create up to 300
new jobs

 

MESA, AZ (February 29, 2024) – Pentagon Technologies Group, Inc. (“Pentagon,” a
wholly owned subsidiary of Kurita Water Industries, Ltd.), a critical materials
supplier of advanced chamber cleaning equipment consumables to leading-edge
semiconductor foundries, today announced that it is building a new cleaning
facility in Mesa, Arizona. The facility is expected to be operational in Q4
2024.


Pentagon’s project is underway with all required building and land acquisition,
facility design, and permitting due diligence completed. Representing an over
$50 million capital investment, the 65,500-square-foot facility will be the
company’s largest precision cleaning facility utilizing extensive cutting-edge
technologies and optimized operation processes. It will create up to 300 new
jobs over the next several years.


“We are thrilled to partner with the City of Mesa in building a cutting-edge
facility to support the growth of semiconductor fabs in Arizona,” said Dave
Christeson, CEO of Pentagon. “Our facility will have the capability to provide
precision cleaning to industry leaders on the most advanced semiconductor tools
in the industry. We are excited to provide so many new jobs in such an exciting
industry to people in the Mesa area.”


Pentagon is a leading provider of mission-critical manufacturing support
services, contamination detection, and protection consumables to the
semiconductor and microelectronics industries. Pentagon’s proprietary services
and products improve the utilization, yield and life cycle of complex
manufacturing equipment used in high technology fabrication– all of which
improve fabs productivity. Headquartered in Hayward, California, Pentagon has a
global footprint of facilities in Arizona, California, Israel, Ireland, New
York, Oregon, Texas and Japan (Kuritec Services), providing localized service to
its clients’ facilities.


In June 2022, Pentagon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent
company, Kurita Water Industries Ltd. (“Kurita”), which is headquartered in
Tokyo, Japan. Kurita has operations in over 20 countries, and its business lines
focus on comprehensive solutions through integrated diverse technologies,
products, and services in its three operational fields: water treatment
chemicals, water treatment facilities, and maintenance services. Kurita is a
publicly traded company under Stock Ticker 6370 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.


“The new Arizona facility is Kurita's latest and largest strategic investment in
the precision cleaning business in recent years,” said Shingo Yamaga, Chairman
of the Board of Pentagon. “We are very honored to be able to make a significant
contribution to our customers in the semiconductor industry and the local
community through this new facility. We also believe that this investment is
extremely important in that Kurita expands its foundation to provide
high-quality one-stop services to the world's top customers in the semiconductor
industry wherever and whenever they need.”


“We are excited industry leader Pentagon Technologies has chosen Arizona for its
innovative semiconductor operations,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of
the Arizona Commerce Authority. “Pentagon Technologies’ new facility strengthens
Arizona’s already robust semiconductor supply chain, which is the
fastest-growing in the nation. We are grateful to Pentagon Technologies for its
investment in Arizona and look forward to supporting the company’s success in
Mesa.”


“Pentagon Technologies’ front-end support and technical site services add
crucial elements to the semiconductor supply chain clustered in Greater
Phoenix,” said Chris Camacho, President and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic
Council. “We are excited to welcome a competitive global company to Mesa.”


“Mesa has an important role to play in high-tech manufacturing and the
semiconductor supply chain, and as part of that, we’re pleased to welcome
Pentagon Technologies’ new facility,” said Mesa Mayor John Giles. “This is a
substantial capital investment in our community that signifies the creation of
hundreds of new jobs and further solidifies Mesa’s position as a hub for
innovation and economic growth.”
