WHAT ENGINEERING COVERS
Our story
OPKI was founded by mechatronics engineers with a strong background in UV/UHV vacuum, microscopy and scientific instrumentation.
Over time, one insight became clear: vacuum performance rarely fails because of a single component, but because of weak links across the system.
OPKI was created to address this gap, by approaching vacuum as a coherent, stable and evolutive system, not as isolated equipment. OPKI create innovative, highly industrialized products that are not only technologically advanced but also exceptionally easy to integrate and use. When off-the-shelf solutions fall short, our engineering team focuses on the underlying constraints – usage, interfaces and continuity – to restore control.
Our mission is to democratize advanced vacuum technologies, making them easier to integrate and use, so that more companies, regardless of size, can leverage these innovations for their projects.
