Solar Atmospheres forms Vacuum Pump Services Corp.

Hatfield, Pennsylvania – The Solar Atmospheres group of companies has more than 100 mechanical vacuum roughing pumps and mechanical holding pumps. Of its fleet of furnaces, some are still in operation at 30+ years. Mechanical pump life is on the order of 5 to 10 years, so it became necessary for the company to establish its own vacuum pump service center, the Vacuum Pump Services Corp.

Currently, there are three employees: Bob Sandora, vice president of operations, a longtime Solar Atmospheres employee, with 40+ years of mechanical vacuum pump experience, and Steve MacInnes, manager of operations, with 15 years of mechanical vacuum pump experience, and another recent pump technician.

According to William R. Jones, CEO of the Solar Atmospheres family of companies, “We know vacuum pumps: when to have the pumps serviced, and how to service them correctly. This is the base reason for establishing our own organization. We have also serviced pumps for other organizations, even including our competitors. So we are eager to share our knowledge and expertise, and to offer our services broadly across industry.”
