In our customers' words.
“The parts we make are used in DNA sample testing, so there is no room for inconsistency. Crystallume PVD understood the critical nature of our work and delivered a coating process we could rely on. They helped reduce our out-of-tolerance parts from 45% to less than 1%, which was a huge improvement for our operation.”
