A Legacy Rooted in Leybold

In 1994, a group of colleagues from the globally renowned vacuum technology company Leybold founded Vacuum Engineering Services (VES) at the same location where Leybold had closed a manufacturing facility in Trafford Park, Manchester, England. This marked the beginning of a new chapter, built on the strong foundation of Leybold’s legacy in vacuum technology.
