Leybold USA

Since our founding in 1850, Leybold has written its chapter in industrial history and, not least through the groundbreaking inventions of Wolfgang Gaede, founded the worldwide vacuum industry. From the first industrial applications in the production of light bulbs 100 years ago until today, we have reinvented ourselves again and again to adapt to the requirements of the global market. Today, vacuum technology is a key technology that has become indispensable in many applications including CNC vacuum hold-down for woodworking. Users can be found in all industrialized regions throughout the world, and we continue to count ourselves among the market leaders of this industry. Our pumps and vacuum systems create the necessary production conditions for the industrial manufacturing of woodworking, semiconductors, data carriers, displays, coated architectural glass and solar cells. Vacuum systems are used in the refinement of steel and the processing and packaging of food. Vacuum is also indispensable for the operation of mass spectrometers and electron microscopes as well as in almost all areas of modern research. At Leybold, our highly trained and experienced employees are the foundation of a comprehensive customer service. Our innovative products combined with our state-of-the-art production technology in a global manufacturing network all come together to form a successful business. A global service network with a multitude of service offerings completes our product line.

Since 1850, our passion for innovationhas been winning hearts and attention globally. As a result, we’ve been a pioneer invacuum innovation.As the world’s oldest vacuum pump manufacturer, our ground-breaking innovations havebeen instrumental in shaping the future of many industries. Our innovations, such as thefirst molecular air pump in 1909, paved the way for other vacuum technologies, includingturbomolecular pumps, which are playing an important role in improving everyday life. Thisspirit of innovation has helped us secure customer trust.Since inception, we’ve continued to reinvent ourselves to adapt to the requirements of theglobal market. Today, vacuum technology is playing a key role across a broad spectrum ofindustries, and thereby is helping design new experiences for a global audience.One of the most impactful and controllable aspects for food production industry to remain competitive is the way in which they utilize their equipment. Food processing and packing lines such as thermoformers, rotary packers, tumblers etc. are often equipped with vacuum pumps for improved shelf life, ease of processing and improved product quality.Vacuum systems are critical to food processing and packaging, especially when it comes to food safety. Optimized vacuum pumps can maximize your production and minimize your maintenance and downtime. Faulty, outdated and inefficient vacuum can cause slower cycle times and maintenance-related downtimes. This can, in turn, have a direct negative impact on profitability.
