Welcome to 2023 and Happy Lunar New Year
2022 was a positive year for Gencoa and the wider vacuum market overall. Whilst the demand for some consumer products dropped and supply chain disruptions still had an impact, other technology sectors have seen healthy growth and smarter devices are in demand. Sensors and energy-related products are on the rise again as electrifying the world whilst preserving the ecosystem will dominate this decade. At the SVC in Long Beach in Spring 2022, Dr Paddy McCarthy gave a presentation in the Innovators Showcase to highlight the advantages of Full-Face Erosion sputtering. Was this the catalyst that drove demand? We'd like to think so! The product range has become hugely popular and is the stand-out performer for the year. Here's a link to what has since become a much-requested presentation: Process Benefits of a 'Clean' Sputter Target by Dynamic Plasma Movement on Circular Planar Magnetrons |
