Sacramento, CA – Genesis Vacuum Technologies, Inc. purchased the cryopump line from Ebara Technologies, Inc., including all cryopump patents and technical rights. Additionally, all engineering, manufacturing, and in-house service personnel supporting the cryopump product line transitioned to Genesis. With key leadership in place, an experienced manufacturing and design engineering team, and a state-of-art 25,000 square foot facility, Genesis is committed to providing unparalleled global customer support and strong R&D for new product development.

Genesis has a strong commitment to providing its installed customer-base with world-class service and support for new customers, as well as for all cryopumps originally sold by Ebara and Varian. Integral to meeting this commitment is the revitalized and expanded worldwide sales and support network. Genesis has established a network of service organizations in strategic locations within the US, as well as in Europe, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. The next center will open in China in early 2003.  The network will provide local refurbishment centers so customers can quickly and cost-effectively have pumps rebuilt and serviced.

Genesis is positioning itself first and foremost as a technology company. Under the leadership of President & CEO, Stefano Mangano, Genesis is committed to looking to the future of cryo-technology and providing its global customers with consistent, cost-competitive solutions to their vacuum technology needs. Current R&D efforts focus on enhancing pump technology to meet the demands of ever-smaller parts and the resultant stresses they will put on manufacturing processes. Additionally, the engineering expertise of the product development team enables Genesis work with customers to develop innovative cryopump systems for their unique, next generation applications.

In December 2001, the Board of Directors hired Stefano Mangano as President and CEO. The board sought a leader of Mangano’s stature to guide Genesis from a relatively small market presence to a position of industry leadership.  Mangano’s many years of technical and managerial success at companies such as Lam Research give Genesis a unique vision that is driven by technology development. Upon joining Genesis, Mangano began the acquisition of a strong management team comprised of business, technology, and applications professionals. 

“I believe that our technical expertise, combined with our strong customer support, provides us with tremendous growth opportunity,” explained Stefano Mangano, President and CEO, Genesis Vacuum Technologies. “As the semiconductor industry transitions to sub-100 nm devices and 300 mm wafers, our R&D efforts will allow our customers to take the next step.”

Genesis Vacuum Technologies is a manufacturer of leading-edge cryogenic vacuum pumps, compressors, and cryogenic coldheads used for generating ultra-high vacuum conditions in environments requiring high levels of cleanliness, such as in the semiconductor and disk drive industries. In the semiconductor industry, their systems can be found in advanced wafer processing equipment, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and implant systems.
