I work for a company that specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of high precision sample heating and manipulation products for use in the high and ultra-high vacuum markets for materials research and production.

Products are sold and supported globally via an extensive distribution network to a diverse customer base including synchrotrons (i.e. the large hadron collider, Switzerland & similar facilities around the world), universities and government laboratories, OEMs (vacuum system integrators) and the semiconductor and industrial markets.

Applications include sample manipulation and heating for materials deposition and surface analysis techniques.

PHEW!
