Banner Industries Signs Partnership Agreement with VAT in the Semiconductor Fab Market
It is with great pleasure that Banner Industries announces a partnership with VAT effective February 1, 2017, focused on providing superior value to the semiconductor fab market. VAT is a recognized industry leader in vacuum valve technology whose products are used to produce the most innovative tools, devices, and instrumentation for industries such as semiconductor, LED, flat panel display, and solar.
Since the company was founded in 1965, VAT has focused single-mindedly on vacuum valve technology, which has earned them their position as an industry leader today. They offer the widest range of vacuum valves in the business with more than 1000 standard products, but also work with customers to produce special valves and integrated valve systems.
VAT is an international company headquartered in Switzerland with strong global representation from North America to Europe to Asia. Their international teams work in collaboration to enrich innovations in research and development, streamline improvements to product development, and inform strategies for market intelligence. This global footprint ensures that VAT products are developed with the future of the industry in mind and always with a focus on quality and long-term guaranteed service.
“VAT’s dedication to innovation and engineering excellence coupled with Banner Industries’ value-added distribution services is a combination that is surely slated for success,” says Nigel Wenden, President at Banner Industries. “The strategic partnership takes advantage of each company’s strengths – first class vacuum valves from VAT and deep-rooted customer relationships from Banner Industries – with the added benefit of joint marketing and sales operations. Our technical sales team strives to provide end-users with the best possible product for their application and it doesn’t get any better than VAT.”
“VAT is very excited about our new partnership with Banner Industries,” says Tom Murphy, President at VAT. “This partnership is a natural fit, combining Banner’s extensive footprint, experienced staff and excellent customer service with VAT’s quality products. With this new partnership, we look forward to providing our customers with a strong value proposition of quality products, local availability and world-class customer service.”
