A pioneer in the development of getter technology, the SAES® Getters Group is the world leader in a variety of scientific and industrial applications where stringent vacuum conditions or ultra-pure gases are required. In more than 70 years of activity, the Group's getter solutions have been supporting innovation in the information display and lamp industries, in sophisticated high vacuum systems and in vacuum thermal insulation, in technologies spanning from large vacuum power tubes to miniaturized silicon-based microelectronic and micromechanical devices. The Group also holds a leading position in ultra-pure gas refinement for the semiconductor and other high-tech markets.
Starting in 2004, by leveraging the core competencies in special metallurgy and in the materials science, the SAES Getters Group has expanded its business into the advanced material markets, in particular the market of shape memory alloys, a family of advanced materials characterized by super elasticity and by the property of assuming predefined forms when subjected to heat treatment. These special alloys, which today are mainly applied in the biomedical sector, are also perfectly suited to the realization of actuator devices for the industrial sector (domotics, white goods industry, consumer electronics and automotive sector).
More recently, SAES has expanded its business by developing components whose getter functions, traditionally obtained from the exploitation of the special features of some metals, are instead generated by chemical processes. These new products are used in the OLED promising sectors (Organic Light Emitting Diode, both for displays and lighting) and in the photovoltaic one.
Thanks to these new developments, SAES is evolving, adding to its competencies in the field of special metallurgy also those of advanced chemicals.
A total production capacity distributed in eleven facilities across 3 continents, a worldwide-based sales & service network and about 1,000 employees allow the Group to combine multicultural skills and expertise to form a truly global enterprise.
SAES Getters is headquartered in the Milan area (Italy).
SAES Getters is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange Market, STAR segment, since 1986.
