# Neyco

Neyco is a French company founded in 1954, specialist in High Vacuum, UHV, Inorganic materials and thin films.

## History

Initially created to allow access to International semiconductors, Neyco developed its area of expertise in Vacuum, Materials and Thin films: - Vacuum and UHV with mechanics (chambers, components, gauges, pumps ...) - Inorganic materials from Aluminum to Zirconium in all shapes (powders to targets) and all forms (metals, oxides, alloys, borides, nitrides, sulfides ...). - Thin films (i.e. layers below one micron) deposited under vacuum by thermal evaporation, electron beam, sputtering and/or laser ablation.
In 2017, Neyco Group also includes the activity of Kerdry, the biggest French operation and clean room only dedicated to thin films on request (evaporation, E-beam, sputtering) based in Lannion (France) known for optical deposition, metallic deposition and photolithography.
Located in Vanves, 3 km South of Paris, with production facilities in France and Great Britain, NEYCO is a European leading company in the fields of vacuum, thin film deposition and coating materials for PVD.
Neyco is also a member of the Society of Vacuum Coaters (USA) and of the European Material Research Society (EMRS).
Following its growth, Olivier Costa became the new general manager of Neyco in October 2018. Isabelle Richardt (CEO) has also been elected secretary of SFV (French Vacuum Society).
In July 2022 the French Groupe HEF acquired Neyco.
