About VAT Group
VAT Group makes vacuum valves, the components that open, close and regulate gas flow inside the sealed chambers where chips are manufactured. Chip tools need very clean, tightly controlled vacuum conditions, so valve reliability affects yield. It also serves the display, solar and vacuum coating industries. VAT was founded in 1965 by Siegfried Schertler and is headquartered in Haag, Switzerland. It was acquired by Capvis and Partners Group in 2014 and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in 2016.

What VAT Group works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
