Continuing a Trusted Coating Legacy

As interest in Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings continues to grow across manufacturing industries, companies are looking for partners they can trust to support both their current needs and future production goals. KDF Technologies, a Kurt J. Lesker Company subsidiary, is carrying forward the VaporTech® coating legacy as the sole licensed and exclusive supplier of the PVD coating machines formerly manufactured by Vapor Technologies, Inc. (VaporTech®). This ensures customers continue to have access to the proven technology, performance, and reliability that made these systems a trusted choice throughout the industry.

Whether manufacturers are focused on creating eye-catching decorative finishes, improving wear resistance, reducing friction, or enhancing overall product durability, PECVD and DLC coatings offer opportunities to elevate product performance while delivering a premium finished appearance. From cutting tools and medical devices to consumer products and precision-engineered components, these coating technologies continue to help manufacturers push products further and stay competitive in demanding markets.

By bringing the VaporTech® coating platform under the KDF name, customers gain continued access to the systems they know, backed by the engineering expertise, vacuum technology knowledge, and long-term support associated with KDF and the Kurt J. Lesker Company. For manufacturers exploring in-house coating for the first time, or those expanding an existing operation, KDF provides a trusted path forward with technology designed to support both performance and production goals.

As demand grows for coatings that improve durability, reduce friction, enhance wear resistance, and create a premium finished appearance, PECVD and DLC technologies continue to offer manufacturers a valuable way to differentiate their products. With KDF carrying forward the VaporTech® coating legacy, customers can move ahead with proven coating solutions while staying ready for the next generation of surface finishing needs.
