About Us

We have a long standing commitment to quality and excellence in the high vacuum industry. Started in 1967 the company is a leader in manufacturing of high vacuum equipment for thin film coating and etching.

We started exporting our systems around the world in 2001, and now have equipment installed across the US, and in Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Israel, India, China and Germany.

Located in Fort Collins, Colorado, our foundation is built on three pillars: Systems for High Vacuum Thin Film Deposition & Ion Beam Etching/Deposition, Thin Film Coatings, and Ion Sources for surface modification. We dedicate ourselves to delivering high performance products to institutions who require technology solutions that truly push the limits of what advanced manufacturing and materials science have to offer.

We have been a driving force in the thin film deposition and materials science industry for the past 30 years and dedicate ourselves to innovating these fields in a manner that impacts the overall industry. Many industries are directly affected such as: aerospace & defense, medical, telecommunications, energy, optics & photonics, and more. This reach cascades to countless more indirect applications that influence The World.

Intlvac’s hand-picked team of specialists continuously explore the nuances of materials science through a range of deposition techniques and state-of-the-art metrology equipment. By developing transformative technologies through our deep library of Intellectual Property, we provide our customers with industry leading value and superior performance. We are dynamic because of our research foundations and refined because of our team mentality. However, the evolution of our systems, coatings, and ion sources is not our most profound virtue, instead it is the commitment to the cultivation of the materials science that governs them.

We take pride in our exceptional capability to produce cutting-edge low-temperature multi-layer metal coatings for bi-polar plates and electrolyzers. Our advanced technology enables us to create highly efficient and durable coatings that enhance the performance and longevity of these crucial components. With our expertise, we ensure that the coatings exhibit excellent adhesion, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity, all while maintaining low-temperature processing conditions. Our innovative approach empowers us to deliver reliable solutions that contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy systems and promote a greener future.

Yours Truly,

Dino Deligiannis, President
