What ANNEALSYS does
Annealsys SAS, founded in 2004 in Montpellier, France, designs, manufactures and sells Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) and Direct Liquid Injection Chemical Vapor Deposition (DLI-CVD) systems, and has more recently extended into DLI-ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition). The company's core technology platforms include RTP furnaces with an extended temperature range up to 2000°C and high-vacuum capability, and DLI-CVD systems with strong expertise in the deposition of multifunctional oxides and 2D materials including graphene, h-BN and TMDs (Transition Metal Dichalcogenides). Products are sold under two brands, Annealsys and Jipelec, and the company operates a 100+ sqm R&D lab for process development. The firm has accumulated an installed base of more than 900 systems worldwide and holds ISO 9001 certification.
The company sells through a three-stream model: (1) one-time capital-equipment sales of RTP, DLI-CVD and DLI-ALD systems (custom, quotation-based pricing); (2) Process Development Services, where Annealsys engineers perform customer-specification or co-development processes in its lab; and (3) After-Sales Service, providing technical and process support through its worldwide service organization. Customers are split horizontally between production companies (manufacturing MEMS, sensors, optoelectronics, telecommunications components, and power/discrete devices) and R&D laboratories (working on semiconductors, photovoltaics, and nanotechnologies). Distribution is channel-led: ~30 authorized distributors and sales representatives cover 40+ countries across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Oceania, providing local sales and engineer-supported service in markets from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and India to the USA, Brazil, Egypt, and Australia.
Annealsys has been a privately owned subsidiary of ECM GROUP, a diversified French industrial group specializing in vacuum furnaces and thermal processing, since 2021. The Chairman representing Annealsys is Société LaMa (via Mr Laurent PELISSIER). Headcount is in the 11–50 band, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Strategic focus is on (i) high-reliability, low cost-of-ownership thermal and deposition tools for emerging device segments; (ii) long-term customer relationships through a worldwide trained-engineer service network; and (iii) portfolio extension into DLI-ALD and 2D-material deposition applications.
