Infraserv - Vakuumservice

What Infraserv - Vakuumservice does

Infraserv Vakuumservice GmbH is a German specialist in vacuum pump technology founded in 1993 in Eching near Munich, operating as a 100% subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation (Kyoto, Japan) since the 2018 acquisition. The company employs approximately 43 staff, roughly half in technical services, all with extensive experience in semiconductor industry, cleanroom technology, and vacuum technology. Core products include turbomolecular pumps (including magnetic-bearing models), dry-running/oil-free scroll pumps, cryopumps, rotary vane pumps, roots pumps, ion getter pumps, helium compressors, and complete customized vacuum systems with automated control and visualization. Following the 2021 integration of Shimadzu Fluidics Systems Europe at the Eching site, the portfolio also includes hydraulic gear pumps, compact power packs, and manifold valve blocks for mobile work machines.

The business operates as a manufacturer-independent service provider across all major pump brands (Pfeiffer, Oerlikon Leybold, Edwards, Alcatel, Varian, Ulvac, Kashiyama, Busch, and others), including repair of equipment no longer serviced by original manufacturers. Revenue is generated through five streams: vacuum pump and component sales (including refurbished equipment with 1-year warranty), repair and maintenance services (targeted wear-part replacement and full overhauls), rental equipment for production bridging, technical training courses in vacuum technology and cryogenics, and manufacturer-independent consulting and vacuum system design. ISO 9001 certified since 1996, the company runs a dedicated electronics workshop for turbomolecular pump controllers, a 3-stage cleaning line with decontamination, and certified leak detection per DIN EN 1779.

The company serves European industrial B2B customers across semiconductor manufacturing, coating technology, automotive, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, pharmaceutical/food/renewable energy, and research sectors. Go-to-market combines direct technical sales managers covering EMEA, inside sales based at Eching headquarters, and a network of regional distribution partners in Spain, Netherlands, Israel, Switzerland, and Italy. In 2025 the company joined Silicon Saxony and expanded dry-running pump partnerships (Hanbell, LOT).
