- Ninestar Corporation (002180.SZ), founded in 2000 and headquartered in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China, engages in the research, development, production, and sales of printing and imaging products across the full industry chain; its three core business segments encompass laser printers under the PANTUM brand covering entry-level to high-end models including A3 copiers, integrated circuit chips via subsidiary Geehy Semiconductor featuring printer main control SoC chips, consumable chips, industrial-grade and automotive-grade microcontrollers, encryption chips, and IoT solutions, as well as compatible consumables and core components through brands such as APEXMIC, G&G, and Static Control that include laser toner cartridges, inkjet cartridges, ribbons, rollers, and related parts; the company operates globally in over 150 countries and regions with approximately 22,000 employees, 20% dedicated to R&D, and holds more than 6,000 patents. Ninestar listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2014 and reported 2024 revenue of CNY 26.4 billion; it previously acquired Lexmark International in 2016 to bolster mid-to-high-end printers and managed print services before completing the divestiture of Lexmark to Xerox Holdings Corporation in July 2025 for $1.5 billion including net debt and liabilities, a transaction that contributed to a first-half 2025 net loss of CNY 312 million amid revenue of CNY 12.3 billion; recent developments include Pantum's 10% revenue growth to CNY 2.3 billion in H1 2025 driven by 115% surge in A3 copier sales despite overall printer shipment decline, Geehy's recognition among China's top 10 microcontroller companies in 2025 with its G32R501 model named MCU of the Year, and an MSCI ESG rating upgrade to A in 2024.
