VACPRO and Polyteknik: Driving Innovation with Vacuum Technology

The Challenge: Scaling from Local Service to Global Innovation

When Polyteknik AS set out to revolutionize the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) industry, they faced a fundamental challenge: finding a vacuum technology partner who could support their ambitious vision while ensuring operational excellence. Their evolution from a local coating service provider to a global manufacturer of sophisticated PVD systems demanded not just high-quality components, but a partner committed to long-term technological advancement. 

"VACPRO provides honest, knowledgeable support with a lot of flexibility," reflects Christian Kjelde, Sales Manager at Polyteknik. "Their technical expertise is crucial for our operations, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional solutions to our customers."

Beyond Components: Forging a Two-Decade Strategic Alliance

The collaboration between VACPRO and Polyteknik exemplifies how strategic partnerships can drive manufacturing innovation. As Polyteknik's ambitions grew more complex, particularly in epitaxial sputtering and quantum-related depositions, they needed more than just a supplier – they needed a partner who could help transform their operational capabilities. 

What began as a component supply relationship has evolved into a comprehensive strategic partnership spanning two decades. VACPRO's approach goes beyond simply providing equipment; they engage in detailed technical discussions, understand application requirements, and develop solutions that address both immediate needs and long-term manufacturing goals. 

Polyteknik - When thin film matters

Three Pillars of Partnership Success

The partnership's success stems from its focus on three fundamental areas. VACPRO's commitment to operational resilience has proven crucial for Polyteknik's manufacturing initiatives. Through strategic stocking arrangements and access to a global service network, they've created a foundation for reliable, continuous operation – essential for sophisticated PVD systems serving both research institutions and industrial clients. 

Cost efficiency forms the second pillar of this relationship. VACPRO's strategic approach to component selection and technical consultation has allowed Polyteknik to optimize their resources while maintaining manufacturing excellence. Through careful planning and implementation, their systems deliver both immediate and long-term value to customers worldwide.

The third key element is the depth of collaboration between the two organizations. VACPRO's technical expertise enables solution-focused discussions rather than simple transactions. This collaborative approach has proven particularly valuable in complex projects, where Polyteknik's innovative in-house developed components must seamlessly integrate with vacuum technology from leading global manufacturers.

Measurable Growth and Market Leadership 

The partnership's impact extends beyond individual projects. By establishing robust global service capabilities and implementing efficient vacuum systems, Polyteknik has enhanced its position as a leader in PVD technology. Their ability to compete alongside industry giants in specialized applications demonstrates how reliable vacuum technology underpins manufacturing excellence.

VACPRO's tailored solutions and support have enabled Polyteknik to double in size over three years, growing from 30 to 70 employees. Their success in niche markets like epitaxial sputtering and quantum-related depositions showcases how strategic collaboration can drive both technical innovation and operational excellence.


"Working with VACPRO has significantly enhanced our operations. Their deep understanding of vacuum technology and proactive approach to problem-solving have helped us maintain our competitive edge."
