Company profile
Kurt J. Lesker Company UK
Supplies vacuum components, deposition materials and thin-film process equipment from its St Leonards-on-Sea UK operation.
Company overview
Kurt J. Lesker supplies vacuum technology and thin-film process equipment, with a UK operation at St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex. Its offering spans vacuum components, pumping and control, deposition materials and process systems. The CMS research platform provides a direct semiconductor application: it can be configured for sputtering or electron-beam deposition and for ultra-high-vacuum operation. Options described for the platform include substrate rotation and heating, load locks, controlled sample transfer and multiple deposition sources. The same equipment family addresses photonics, photovoltaics and other materials research. The UK location is listed alongside the company’s international offices, so the profile concerns a UK operation of a wider business rather than a standalone British device manufacturer.
