United States. Ulvac Technologies, Inc. announced the opening of an office in Santa Clara, California. The Silicon Valley office location gives Ulvac West Coast customers easier access to the company's sales and service operations.
It also locates the company's operations closer to the Japanese headquarters and several Asian markets. The new location will include a vacuum pump and leak detector repair center to serve the regional customer base.
A new product line for Ulvac Technologies, Inc. is vacuum cooling systems for use on large-scale farms to extend the product life of fresh produce, flowers and meats.
