Founded by Gary Vergason in 1986, Vergason Technology, Inc. (VTI) grew from a fledgling toll coating supplier to an internationally recognized leader in vacuum coatings and equipment. The company started in a 500 square foot addition on the side of Gary’s parents' barn and has grown to a 37,000 square foot corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Van Etten, NY.
Innovation has always been a strength for VTI. In 1988, VTI delivered the fi of several bone implant coating systems and the world’s fi commercial PressSide® Rapid Cycle Metallizing System was built in 1989. VTI’s cathodic arc patent pioneered the discrete anode, switched arc arena in 1991. The company’s patented CatArc® technology is used today to supply high quality, low temperature thin fi coatings and equipment for substrates demanding critical temperature control to maintain high hardness, uniform thickness control and dimensional stability.
The company’s products and services incorporate thermal evaporation, cathodic arc vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to produce a wide variety of tribological, decorative, reflective and electronic shielding coatings.
VTI’s specialized coatings include SuperChrome® PVD Coating, a safe alternative for decorative chrome plating; NexSteel® Decorative Coating, a popular alternative for traditional brushed stainless steel and BlackCat® Tactical Coating, a tough, non-reflective black finish featuring a thermal stability rating of 1700°F.
With over 200 installed systems worldwide, VTI has supplied equipment for many types of applications and industries including automotive, industrial, and commercial lighting; solar and photovoltaic applications; reflective coatings; coatings for RFI, EMI, and ESD shielding; decorative coatings; ceramic wear coatings; tactical coatings and corrosion resistant coatings.
Gary feels the one aspect that has remained a constant over the past 30 years, is VTI’s dedication to world class service and results every time. With technology constantly on the move and vacuum coating being the coating preference for many applications, he is excited to see what the future holds.
VTI is certifi to the ISO 9001:2008 standard, a milestone the company achieved with assistance from AM&T. VTI is also ITAR registered and RoHS compliant. For more information, visit www.vergason.com
