Setting the pace…

In the modern age, scientific research has always set the pace for industrial and manufacturing developments. The vision of researchers has been the catalyst that has provided mankind with technological and scientific advances at a rate faster than at any other time in history.

The pace of development and the continual push to reach smaller dimensions, to get more accurate and more powerful, has proven a steep learning curve for industrialists, and in many cases they have fallen short of the challenge set before them.

VG Scienta - It makes sense…

VG Scienta is a Gammadata company formed by the merger of Vacuum Generators and Gammadata Scienta. By combining the expertise and knowledge from both companies VG Scienta is uniquely suited to meet the current and future needs of our customers. Both are world renowned and respected companies in their own right; our combination means we are one of the world's premier suppliers of quality products to meet the demanding standards of the scientific market.

Established in 1964, VG quickly built a name for itself based on its extremely high quality and technical innovation. Ever since the VG group built the first MBE system in 1972, Vacuum Generators has continued to pioneer and innovate to stay one step ahead of the ultra high vacuum standards demanded by the vacuum market.

The high standards and reputation of VG products has been consolidated over the last three decades. In the new millennium the technical expertise within Vacuum Generators has led to opportunities in both the semiconductor and synchrotron sciences. Vacuum Generators still remains at the forefront of UHV technology today.

Scienta Instruments AB was founded in 1983. The aim was to build on the Nobel prize-winning achievements of Professor Kai Siegbahn of Uppsala University to create a new world standard in the field of electron spectroscopy. The first result was the ESCA 300 instrument that was introduced to the market in 1989.

In the market of surface science, Scienta is primarily known for its high intensity UV source and high performance electron spectrometer systems. The company is known for producing high resolution electron spectroscopy instruments with world-leading performance. Scienta has always been at the leading edge in all electron spectroscopy-oriented fields of research and development, as well as in the more recent field of soft x-ray spectroscopy.
