Our Competencies, Our People
With over 50 years industry experience, our core competence is in the expert design, engineering, manufacture and clean-room assembly of chambers and manipulation subsystems.
Engineering
In a high technology business, you have to be confident in the partners you choose to provide mission critical technology, equipment and services. You need to know that your partners can deliver and support what you need, when you need it. As your business grows and develops your need to work with partners that can support that growth. That's where we come in.
Manufacturing
We’re a fully-fledged UHV equipment manufacturer. At our factory in the UK we exploit extensive engineering resources to take raw materials right through the entire manufacturing workflow, producing finished UHV components, everything happens here.
Assembly
Our world renowned support comes from the knowledge and experience accumulated - our products are truly 'invented here'. We develop and supply the complete spectrum of UHV components, from the most basic gaskets and flanges through to complex turnkey assemblies.
