To date, the company has developed 54 types of high-end semiconductor equipment, including 26 plasma etching tools and 24 types of film deposition, chemical mechanical polishing, and metrology and inspection tools. The processing precision of its etching and film equipment has reached the atomic level. As of the end of June 2026, the company has a cumulative total of over 8,800 reaction chambers in mass production across more than 220 production lines both domestically and internationally.

Lingang AME China Building Officially Completed
Alongside its financial growth, AME China has also made progress in its industrial base and headquarters construction. On August 1, the company held a completion ceremony for the "AME China Building" in Shanghai's Lingang New Area. Located near Dishui Lake in Lingang, the building covers approximately 25 mu (about 1.67 hectares), with a total floor area of about 105,000 square meters.
