About VST

Founded 1986. Engineering custom vacuum systems ever since.

VST shipped its first thin-film, high-vacuum deposition system over 35 years ago, and has been the engineering partner behind research labs, satellite agencies, and industrial manufacturers ever since. Our advantage is depth across nine product lines and decades of custom integration. Our promise is simple: tell us what you're trying to build, and the team that meets you at the kickoff will be the team that ships, installs, and supports the system.
