Who we are

We’ve been delivering on our brand promise for more than 100 years

As a global pioneer, Edwards has been leading the market for vacuum and abatement solutions for over 100 years.

Our relentless pursuit of new technologies means we create products that enable our customers to innovate, developing products and equipment intrinsic to everyday life.

Vacuum is required for astonishingly diverse applications, from consumer products to large scale industrial uses – from the generation of power to the production of steel, from the challenging environments of space simulation to high energy physics research. From medicines to mobile phones and from computers to coffee beans, ultimately we believe in making a difference to people’s lives. Safely and sustainably.

Edwards is proud to lead the vacuum and abatement industry. We continue to push the boundaries of science to deliver products that consumers cannot live without. Committed to safe and sustainable innovation, we work alongside our customers to set new standards and prepare to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Making the smartphone possible 

Did you know that the iconic device of our age, the smartphone, would not be possible without many of our vacuum and abatement processes. So we are critical process enablers for smartphone production – since our products are used in processors, memory sensors, LCD / LED screens, housings and screen coatings. 

Edwards’ processes enable technology for everyone across the planet.

And that is just one device. 

We also play a vital role in the production of PCs, laptops, solar panels, TVs, scientific, laboratory, medical and industrial equipment. Without vacuum and abatement the manufacture of these would simply not be possible. Much of our work is in enabling the technology that advances our world, by creating the environments where innovation thrives.
