SVC Conference and Exhibition on Vacuum Coating

The SVC 50^th Technical Conference and exhibition held in Louisville, US from 28 April to 3 May, represented a forum related to all aspects of vacuum coating technologies including surface engineering, and a vast range of technological applications.

Apart from the exhibition, the Large Area Coating and Vacuum Web Coating sessions were very interesting for people involved in vacuum process control and vacuum equipment use and maintenance.

Pneumofore in the person of Giuseppe Rombolà, Ph.D. specialized in vacuum coating rombola@pneumofore.com, mob +39 335.72.59.603, attended both the conference and the exhibition with the primary target to show benefits in centralized vacuum systems for the vacuum coating industry. Large Area Coaters and directors of many large plants present at the event were not yet ready to put this revolutionary idea into practice. However, Pneumofore’s UV vacuum pump series arouse the interest of many attendants for the pumping speed characteristics and the design. Pneumofore forecasts the coating industry to be successful and plans to participate in SVC events in the future.
