Metallurgical High Vacuum Corp.

Metallurgical High Vacuum Corp., a remanufacturer of vacuum process equipment, was founded in Holland, Michigan, in 1981 by Geoff Humberstone as a consulting business, selling engineering expertise to the high-vacuum industry. The business was expanded in 1985 to provide in-depth service, design, and engineering on a wide range of high-vacuum equipment, including re-building of vacuum, booster, and diffusion pumps and blowers. To accommodate this growth, the company was relocated to a new 5000-ft2 plant in Douglas, Michigan. With a fast growing reputation for high quality work and creative problem solving, the company soon outgrew this facility, and now occupies a fully climate-controlled 16,000-ft2 plant, built in 1996, on a 17-acre site near Fennville, Michigan. This new plant features an 80 x 200-ft open bay with a 30-ft ceiling height and 10-ton overhead crane with access to the entire building.
