Leybold design and manufacture vacuum pumps, components and systems which create the necessary production conditions for the industrial manufacturing of semiconductors, data carriers, displays, coated  architectural glass and solar cells. Vacuum systems are used across a vast range of processes in the refinement of steel and the production and packaging of food. Vacuum is also indispensable for the operation of mass spectrometers and electron microscopes, as well as in almost all areas of modern research and development.  Space missions and projects can only be successful if the materials and components used are first tested on Earth under space conditions - using Leybold vacuum equipment and solutions.

Litecon is a fast-growing high-tech company in Hönigsberg, located in Austria, which was founded in 2014. It develops and produces globally unique system solutions for lightweight construction, with uniquely possibilities for automobile industry, aerospace industry and all industry segments which are interested in lightweight products. Litecon’s expertise lies in the production of Triple F PMI foam cores, which are leaders in application and performance. With the high-performance material Triple F and a motivated and competent team, the company is constantly pushing the boundaries and achieving new successes. Due to its excellent mechanical properties, the material of the future, Triple F, is currently used primarily as a reinforcement for body components used for example in monocoques for supercars. Various components are also manufactured for the sports, leisure industry and many more. Triple F makes it possible to produce complex shapes in a single process step while reducing waste, manufacturing costs and lead times. Inmold foaming (IMF) enables the industrial series production of complex, three-dimensional components and structural cores. These foam cores can be used in all common composite processes, e.g. in high-pressure RTM, in the wet pressing process and in autoclave and infusion technology. Depending on customer requirements, different densities between 50 kg/m³ and 300 kg/m³ are possible, as well as the integration of metal or aluminium inserts in the foam process. Being lighter, more efficient, faster, more powerful and going further - this is the attitude behind all LiteCon products. This technology is already winning over leading premium super sports car manufacturers and the aircraft industry. But much more is possible for the future.
