Vacuum Technology, Inc.
Vacuum Technology, Inc. (VTI) was founded in 1986 and is a product and service provider to the industrial vacuum industry. The company’s initial products were calibrated leaks and a residual gas analyzer (mass spectrometer), both of which continue to be important tools for all vacuum related processes. As the company grew year after year, complete integrated vacuum and process systems that were made possible by continued investment in the company’s manufacturing capabilities, were added to the product portfolio. Today at VTI, virtually all product design and manufacturing is done in-house. This coordination enables VTI to have exceptional flexibility and facilitates short development and manufacturing lead times. VTI takes customer requirements and then designs custom systems (utilizing 3D modeling software) to meet the customer’s needs.
Purpose
Vacuum Technology Incorporated (VTI) was founded to serve an important, yet niche industry. As the name implies, most of the company’s business utilizes vacuum science and the knowledge of gas flow and analysis in its products. Do you want your vehicle’s fuel tank to retain its fuel? Do you want your air-conditioner to retain its refrigerant? Any product or industry that needs to understand and test a product’s ability to keep-in or keep-out a gas or liquid benefits from our expertise. We are experts in how to test and minimize the impact of leaks in products. Our purpose is to provide these products and services for the benefit of our customers, employees, and the world we live in.
Vision
Our vision is to continue to provide an environment where all can come to work or to conduct their business with a sense of shared goals and a touch of family/community that allows us an opportunity to cooperate in meeting goals and solving both technical and personal problems for the betterment of all.Our vision is to be the technology leader in vacuum science, leak testing, and system integration. Being the leader means providing quality products and services while pushing to advance the industry and maintaining our family roots.
Mission
The management of Vacuum Technology Incorporated acknowledges that a company is recognized not only for the quality and utility of its products and services, but also for its dealings with customers, suppliers, and its employees. Therefore, it is VTI's mission to provide the highest quality products and services designed to fulfill the customers’ needs. Furthermore, the business ethic which VTI has chosen for guiding its policies and operations is one where all of our employees, suppliers, and customers are treated with respect, and a genuine interest in advancing their individual goals. We hope to create an environment where all can come to work or to conduct their business with a sense of shared goals and a touch of family/community that allows us an opportunity to cooperate in meeting goals and solving both technical and personal problems for the betterment of all.
Additional Culture Details
VTI’s culture is a unique blend where we are small enough to be considered family-like in our operations yet large enough to provide our employees the ability to specialize in their areas of interest. During the Great Recession, instead of laying-off individuals, all employees (including owners) chose to take temporary pay cuts in order to “preserve the family.” This is just one sizable example of the kind of actions that occur on a regular basis. The company truly works together to help the family earn a living while engaging in interesting work and bringing a value to our customers.
Values

- Perhaps more than anything, VTI is known for the detailed, technical, and personal service we provide to our customers. This professional manner of service extends to how we treat suppliers and employees. We value effective and excellent service.
