What TREAMS does
TREAMS GmbH (TREATMENT AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS) is a privately held German manufacturer of customized vacuum systems for high-purity processes, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Großlöbichau, Thuringia, near Jena. The company designs and builds integrated systems around three core technology pillars: quadrupole-mass-spectrometer-based residual gas analysis (ARGAT®/ARGAT® focus and fine), patented vacuum-induced desorption cleanliness measurement for filmic contamination (VIDAM®/VIDAM® fine), and modular vacuum bake-out ovens (VOBOS, VOBOS pro, VOBOS focus), supplemented by HeVACool thermal vacuum chambers for space simulation, helium-free leak detection, and custom-engineered special systems. All automation, control software, PLC programming, and HMI development are performed in-house, and systems integrate with MES/ERP and OPC UA environments. The product portfolio is tiered into a "focus" line explicitly engineered for GSA 07 2221 / GSA 07 9510 semiconductor cleanliness standards and ASML protocols, alongside higher-sensitivity "fine" variants and a semiconductor-grade cleanroom build (particle-free, silicone-free, heavy-metal-free construction). Revenue is generated primarily through project-quoted hardware sales, complemented by professional services (maintenance, repair, retrofits of HV/UHV/UCV systems and third-party quadrupole mass spectrometers), consulting and training seminars, and recurring software support contracts with up to 10-year coverage. Customers are enterprise B2B buyers in semiconductors, aerospace and space technology, and precision manufacturing (coating, welding, adhesive bonding, medical devices), reached through direct consultative sales, industry trade fairs (Parts Cleaning Conference USA, CLEAN EVENT Netherlands), and memberships in the FiT industrial cleaning association and the LRT aerospace cluster in Saxony/Thuringia. The Managing Director is Jens Bergner, with Michael Pick heading sales and marketing; the company operates with 11-50 employees and has no disclosed external funding.
