"By signing these agreements, the cooperation of the last 20 years has now been ratified in due form, stabilising the grown relationship of trust. We are convinced that this is the right way of implementing our growth strategy in this region," said Dr Martin Füllenbach, CEO of Oerlikon.

The joint stock company, JSC Vacuummash, is a leading vacuum technology company in Russia and the largest manufacturer of vacuum systems in the region holding a market share of around 30 per cent. It has a deep know-how on the application requirements in vacuum technology, especially in the areas of process industry, R&D and the energy sector.

The company, which was founded in 1943 and has been in the vacuum business for more than 50 years, is deeply anchored with more than 400 employees in Russia and the neighbouring CIS countries, having an excellent understanding of the application requirements of each field of trade.

There has already been a joint development cooperation and supply relationship between the two companies in the field of diffusion and booster pumps for the last 20 years. The recently signed, long-term agreement offers significant advantages for Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, so that in the future, Russian clients in the areas of metallurgy, chemical, energy, and research and development will benefit from this agreement. Accordingly, it will furnish fore vacuum and high vacuum products as well as complete vacuum systems into the Russian market.
