Why KDF Technologies

Purpose-Built for
Deposition Equipment

KDF Technologies isn't a general service provider that's learning PVD. It's a dedicated organization backed by decades of production knowledge and the global infrastructure of the Kurt J. Lesker Company, and exists specifically to support PVD and advanced deposition systems.

KDF

Dedicated Deposition Equipment Focus

KDF Technologies is a purpose-built company focused on PVD and advanced deposition process equipment, including process materials, targets, and related services. Based in Rockleigh, New Jersey, KDF brings decades of production system knowledge with the engineering depth to support your systems at the component level.

70+

Decades of PVD System Heritage

KDF Technologies carries forward the legacy of Materials Research Corporation, one of the original pioneers of commercial PVD sputtering systems. That heritage spans more than 70 years of production system knowledge, engineering drawings, and process expertise built specifically around the kind of equipment VaporTech customers run every day.

ISO

9001:2015 Certified Quality

All products and services meet ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. Every part ships with a certificate of analysis and material safety data sheet. Helium leak detection and RGA testing ensure proper vacuum quality on every system that leaves the facility.

PVD & Thin-Film Applications Laboratory

KDF maintains on-site applications labs equipped for PVD sputtering, e-beam and thermal evaporation, and advanced process development. Materials analytical equipment, including profilometers, 4-point probes, and ellipsometers, supports coating trials and customer process optimization for the same industrial and medical applications VaporTech customers rely on, including DLC and biocompatible coatings.

Global Inventory & Service Infrastructure

Global vacuum component inventory locations across North America, Europe, and Asia ensure fast parts availability. The Kurt J. Lesker Company's global service infrastructure provides regional coverage for North America, South America & Australia, EMEIA, and Asia, with dedicated teams, phone support, and in-region engineering resources for every VaporTech customer worldwide.

Common questions

Transition FAQ

Will service quality change after August 1?
No, and in many cases it will improve. KDF Technologies' service organization is currently undergoing comprehensive training on VaporTech PVD equipment, and the transition is structured to maintain continuity. Both VaporTech and KDF Technologies are aligned on this outcome: you can expect the same or improved levels of quality, performance, responsiveness, and lead times. KDF's manufacturing depth and global component inventory further strengthen parts availability compared to what many customers experience today.
Will parts be OEM quality?
Yes. KDF Technologies will provide OEM-designed spare parts built to original VaporTech specifications. These are manufactured through KDF's engineering and in-house manufacturing capacity, not aftermarket substitutes. All parts meet ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and ship with certificates of analysis.
Will my coating recipes and processes be preserved?
Yes. KDF's applications team will work with you to ensure continuity of your existing coating processes. If you require coating optimization or adjustments, our team of thin-film material scientists is available to help, covering the same scope as VaporTech's Coating Optimization Program (feasibility, process optimization, and production readiness).
Do I need to do anything before August 1?
No action is required before August 1, 2026. Continue contacting VaporTech directly at servicesupport@vaportech.com for all service, support, and spare parts needs. Your VaporTech service leadership team will reach out directly over the coming weeks to discuss the transition. You're also welcome to contact KDF Technologies now through our contact page with any questions.
What happens to my existing maintenance contract or service agreement?
Existing agreements will be honored through the transition. Your VaporTech service team will contact you directly to discuss the details of your specific agreement and how it transfers. Please reach out to KDF Technologies through our contact page with any questions.
Which VaporTech systems does this cover?
All VaporTech PVD system platforms are covered, including the V.MAX1500™, VT-1000i™, VT-1500i™, VT-3000i™, and Cadence® systems. If you have a legacy VT-Series system not listed, contact us and we will confirm coverage for your specific model.
How do I reach KDF Technologies?
You can reach KDF Technologies through our contact page. Beginning August 1, 2026, dedicated VaporTech service contact information will be provided directly to all current VaporTech customers.
