Electro Dynamics Crystal Inc. (EDC) was started in 1963 to produce high volumes of quartz crystals for a variety of applications for the consumer electronics and automotive industries. In 1992, in response to market demand, EDC began offering crystals for thin film deposition monitoring. As a result of this new offering EDC became a vendor to INFICON, Inc. The partnership between EDC and INFICON continued to strengthen over the years and culminated in INFICON, Inc. acquiring EDC in 2006. The newly acquired company was incorporated as INFICON EDC, Inc.
Prior to acquisition by INFICON, EDC maintained high standards for quality. This focus on quality compliments, and is in compliance with, the INFICON quality commitment.
Some of the major milestones demonstrating INFICON EDC’s quality commitment are:
INFICON EDC continues to provide quality products to customers worldwide. The vertical integration of crystal manufacturing into the INFICON controller, monitor, sensor, and crystal products allows deposition process optimization, enabling our customers to produce superior quality products. On-site manufacturing at INFICON EDC provides additional value with fast delivery, quick responding stock levels, and the ability to implement new crystal variations.
