History

The company was formed in December 2024 to own the electronics division of DuPont. In November 2025, DuPont completed the corporate spin-off of the company.[3] The name "Qnity" was devised by Lippincott to include the letter "Q", the emblem of the power icon on electronics devices, as well as the word "unity".[4] DuPont had expanded heavily into electronics in 1987.[5] It acquired Laird Performance Materials for $2.3 billion in July 2021.[6]

In March 2026, the company partnered with Nvidia to engage in research and development of materials for semiconductors and packaging technology for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.[7] Also in March 2026, the company was added to the domestic supply chain of Apple Inc.[8] The company also announced a $61.5 million investment in Taiwan by acquiring the N9 plant in Zhunan, Miaoli County, from Ennostar.[9]
