ULVAC's Mission
Setsuo Iwashita, President and CEO

Building a flourishing future by creating innovative solutions to deliver industrial and scientific advancements

Back in 1952, ULVAC was still a fledgling venture that had just been founded by young engineers aspiring to contribute to industrial and scientific advancement through the use of vacuum technologies with the financial support of six angel investors. While continuing to cherish the entrepreneurial spirit that it has embraced since its establishment, ULVAC remains committed to creating new value by pursuing cutting-edge innovation for our vacuum technologies. To this end, our company works hand-in-hand with manufacturers in a wide range of industries to deliver products that are employed in not only liquid-crystal flat-panel displays, semiconductors, and electronic components, but also the types of machinery used in the automotive, food, pharmaceutical, and other general industries.

Setsuo Iwashita, President and CEO   


The ULVAC Group employs a unique business approach to offer comprehensive solutions for a wide range of industries by mobilizing its rich variety of vacuum technologies. Examples of products that employ these technologies include vacuum equipment, components, materials, and analytical instruments, as well as a broad range of customer solutions.

ULVAC responds to ongoing changes dynamically and harnesses the new business opportunities that they present by leveraging the group's collective strength and capacity for innovation to swiftly cater to customer needs in a variety of fields. In doing this, we aspire to act as the driving force behind industrial and scientific advancement with the aim of ushering in a flourishing future.

I hope that we will be able to count on the continued support of all our stakeholders going forward.
