What Lung Pien Vacuum Industry does

Lung Pien Vacuum Industry Co., Ltd. (龍翩真空科技股份有限公司) is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of vacuum coating equipment founded in 1991 and headquartered in the Taichung Port Technology Industrial Park. The company designs and builds turnkey vacuum deposition systems for optical, decorative, and functional thin-film applications, serving optical component manufacturers, consumer electronics (3C) producers, automotive parts suppliers, eyewear makers, cosmetics packaging producers, and LED/semiconductor fabricators. Over its 33-year history, the company has installed more than 1,700 vacuum coaters worldwide, with customers across Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, India, Iran, and Egypt. It holds ISO-9001:2015 and CE certifications and is listed on Taiwan's TPEx Emerging Stock Board under stock code 5267, currently pursuing formal IPO listing.

The company's core technology centers on electron beam evaporation, magnetron sputtering, and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), delivered through a modular product platform spanning vertical dual-door coaters (LP-BSD), automatic optical coaters (LP-EBA), horizontal systems (LP-HS, LP-HEA), HMDSO plasma polymerization coaters (LP-PES), sputtering machines (LP-BSPD), and compact experimental units (LP-BS). Differentiated proprietary components include a patented wireless thin-film thickness monitoring device (Taiwan Patent M589872), a self-developed automated optical film-thickness monitoring system, and a Windows-based touchscreen operator interface with TFCalc-compatible file formats. The company supplements its own systems with agency distributions of PLASMATECH electron guns, Beneq ALD equipment, Olympus/Evident optical inspection instruments, Leybold and Edwards vacuum pumps, and INFICON thin-film controllers.

Lung Pien generates revenue primarily through custom-engineered hardware sales (turnkey coaters priced by chamber size and specification), recurring consumables and replacement parts (coating materials, quartz crystals, pump oils, ion sources), technical services (installation, training, maintenance, process consultation), and agency/commission income from third-party equipment distribution. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales conducted directly from Taiwan headquarters and through its Danyang, China subsidiary, supplemented by sales-service locations in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Kunshan, and Changshu, and an authorized agent (LAM Shun Trade) in Dongguan. Commercial activity is anchored by participation in industry exhibitions such as Opto Taiwan, CIOE, and SEMICON China, with multi-year contract structures typical for capital equipment.
