SAWATEC AG is a leading Swiss high-tech company founded in 1996. It was created by merging the two companies Sawatzki Engineering and Bruno Sawatzki Konstruktion.

The two founders of the company, Harry and Bruno Sawatzki, merged their profound technical expertise and long-standing experience in order to realise their semiconductor and MEMS products together with SAWATEC AG and put them on the market. This successful co-operation produced numerous patents, which emphasises our great innovative power.

 



This is why SAWATEC is the right partner

Our mission

The focus of our efforts is always the quest of being able to offer high-quality equipment to customers at attractive prices.

Our vision

It is our aim to achieve a leading market position in selected segments and to set technology standards in the industry we supply.

Quality

SAWATEC products are well-known for their high degree of reliability, excellent quality and ease of operation. All products meet the requirements for use in a clean room and carry the CE label.

SAWATEC works in partnership with qualified suppliers, who meet the high quality standards and consistently contribute to improving our products.

Coating quality through perfect interaction of various parameters
To ensure that a high level of process reliability can be reached, the interaction of our products with the defined process parameters, the selected substrate and the photoresist must be perfectly co-ordinated.

Furthermore, the process environment exerts a great influence on the process quality, therefore the ambient temperature, the exhaust and supply air (laminar flow) and all technical Connections (N2, compressed air…) must be designed optimally.
