ESTO-Vacuum

About Company

ESTO-Vacuum develops and manufactures automated vacuum systems for plasma deposition.

The company was founded in 2003 by a group of technical specialists, who were working on upgrading old vacuum machines during the 1990s. The company was created to develop a fundamentally new generation of vacuum installations. In 2005, ESTO's Caroline series, which includes 11 systems, was released. In 2009, the company set up a laboratory for scientific research in the field of vacuum technology.

In 2011, RUSNANO began financing a project to increase the production capacity of ion-plasma deposition systems for etching of micro-and nano-structures. ESTO-Vacuum were brought into this project to develop the vacuum equipment, which led to the release of three new series of vacuum equipment.

As a result of the RUSNANO project, the Centre for Technology Services was opened on ESTO-Vacuum's premises. The center provides coating production services for companies, saving them the expense of purchasing and maintaining equipment.

ESTO-Vacuum also established two subsidiary companies, "Advanced Plasma Technology", to cover the R&D activities, and "Tehnoklaster", which manages the project for the production of cluster hardware in Sarov Technopark.

ESTO-Vacuum's manufacturing plant can produce up to 50 production units per year, along with up to 20 custom projects. All the equipment is tested with a three-step verification process in the company's laboratory.
