From laboratory apparatus manufacturer to worldwide specialists in vacuum technology.
In the year 1947 our founder Friedrich Geyer set out to innovate in all areas of laboratory equipment. Today his company, more than half a century later, has elected to concentrate its efforts in the realm of scientific vacuum technology and to expand its techniques to a world market.
ILMVAC UK was the first subsidiary company to be established. The UK offices were opened in 1999 and since then turnover has grown in the region of 30% each year.
Our Location
ILMVAC manufactures in Ilmenau in the heart of Germany. The region has a history of innovation in scientific research and apparatus manufacture in which ILMVAC has long played its part.
In the UK, our location is equally rich in history. West Sussex is the centre for vacuum science in this country. The concentration of high vacuum knowledge and experience in this region plays no small part in our choice of location for our UK offices.
