IST Power
We recently partnered with Applied Vacuum Engineering to design and build a custom degassing/casting system to support our resin cast, high voltage transformer production. From our simple outline brief AVE designed and built a unique solution that fully met our expectations, delivering reduced processing time, improved quality, and is less reliant on operator skill.
IST Power have been working with AVE over several years to provide all our vacuum chamber requirements from simple off the shelf solutions to bespoke systems, a key relationship that has helped us drive our business forward.

Technical Manger
What a great bunch of guys! Our Vacuum pump failed and was sent to these guys to be fixed. They turned it around in super quick time. And was ready for collection when I got there. ????
One of the most helpful companies I have had the pleasure to deal with.
We would certainly recommend them and hope to do more business in the future.

I've purchased several degassing vessels from AVE for various projects. I have to say I'm extremely happy with the company and products.
I've consulted their engineers for technical advice and they have been more than happy to help.
Delivery has always been very fast.
All in all, very knowledgeable, excellent products and service. I can't fault them. Tony
