Thank you for taking time to attend our 2021 Annual Meetings. There being no further business to come before the meeting, Now, I would like to take a few minutes to review some of our key achievements in 2020 and today in 2021. 2020 was a very productive year for ACM. We faced several challenges such as COVID-nineteen pandemic and trade tensions. We overcame these challenges through hard work and a good execution and the positive tailwind in the China Semiconductor Industry.
We focused on what we could control. We manager our supply chain. We executed on customer delivers. We expanded capacity. We introduced new products and we made great progress with new customers.
We also moved forward with our long term facility plan in Lingang with the purchasing 50 year land rights, initial planning for the R and D and production site and the policy for our employee housing development. For the full year 2020, we had a record revenue of 156,600,000, upper 46% year over year and record shipment of US182 million dollars upper 58% from 2019 level. Building on the strong business momentum from last year. We are off to a great start of 2021 with solid results for the Q1. Q1 revenue was $43,700,000, up 80% year over year.
Shipment was a $74,000,000, up from 67,000,000 US44 $1,000,000 up from US67 $1,000,000 in Q4 2020 and up from RMB12 1,000,000 in the Q1 of 2020. We delivered a good balance of growth and profitability with a 41.4 percent gross margin and 11% operation margin. We ended the quarter with $79,000,000 of cash with additional US27 $1,000,000 equivalent from our investment in SMIC's share listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchanging Stock Market. 1st quarter results demonstrate ACM Technology leadership, our broader technology portfolio and our increased production scale. I will now discuss some of our key strategic initiatives.
1st, Asym's success starts with our customers. We have 5 major front end customer in foundry, 3 d NAND and DRAM. We also have several back end wafer packaging and assembly customers. Our newer customers manufacture power and analog devices. In 2020, We had penetrated 2 of the 5 key trading edge node of analog, power IC and the CIS manufacturers in China.
In the Q1 of 2021, we received orders from additional one of their 5 key trading edge node customers. We are actively engaged with the remaining 2 player with a goal of receiving orders from 1 or both of them later this year. On top of that, During Q1, we also penetrate 2 additional advanced packaging house and 1 compound semiconductor IC manufacturer. 2nd, we are expanding our production capacity. During Q1, we expanded production capacity by leasing a second building at our factory in Chunghwa.
This will provide us with enough Floor space to gradually increase our production capacity to more than US500 $1,000,000 upper from current level of RMB 350,000,000. Our long term plan is to build their production and R and D center in the Lingang region of Shanghai. The 1,000,000 square feet of the floor spacing will enable us to increase our annual production capacity to US1.5 billion dollars We are busy with additional architectural and design work this quarter with initial production target by the end of 2022. 3rd, we have established a strong team to helping expand our ACM customer base to additional major customers. Since hiring James Stroud to head our U.
S. European sales effort last year, we have other senior employee in the business development and service team, including a 21 year industry veteran to lead our U. S. Service and delivery team. We now have a seasoned team of world class industry Wethering, to drive our effort to expand our business to additional major customers beyond our base in Asia.
Our team remains deeply engaged in technology discussion and evaluation with the U. S. And Taiwan based win with 1 or more 1st tier customer during 2021. Fours. We are expanding our production offering with new product line.
Our current products under a market of more than 5 $1,000,000,000 ACM committed to become a multi product company. We are positive on growing opportunity from our core cleaning tools, including steps, TEBO, Tahoe and our semi critical cleaning tools. We are also beginning to see a meaningful contribution from our newer product offerings, starting with ECP, where we expect to ramp in 2021 and beyond, followed by our furnace product, which we expect to begin contributing in 20 22nd beyond. Additionally, we have started significant R and D investment in 2 major new product categories to achieve our long term goal to double the total addressable market of our product from $5,000,000,000 today to more than $10,000,000,000 5th, We are making slow but steady progress on the stock market IPO of China Shanghai subsidiary. As discussed on our Q1 early conference call, our team submitted a second verification report to the Shanghai Stock Exchange Commission or SEC in later March.
This report explain the class action Lawsuit that was a fire in the U. S. Last year related to their short seller report published in early October. We are responding to their other important, but manageable inquiry. We remain confident that we will receive approval from SSEC, then move on to the China Security Regulatory Commission registration process to complete IPO.
However, consistent with this practice, SCC has now provided us with a timetable that would enable us to predict the process timing. Before I turn to Q and A session, I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and their dedication. I also want to thank our customer, partners and shareholders for their continued support and confidence in ACM Research. Our strong growth is supporting acceleration in R and D spending on new products. We are building a global sales and marketing resource to penetrate new customer in new region, and we are scaling production capacity to support our long term growth plan.
Our mission to become a major equipment supplier to the global semiconductor industry remain on track. With that, Mark and I will now take any bill related question that you may have.
Okay. At this time, I don't see any questions in the queue. So Thank you again for the participation and support. The webcast is now completed. Thank
you.
