Business
Comet Holding AG (COTN.SW) is a Swiss technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets high-precision vacuum deposition equipment and components for industrial metrology and plasma processes. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including deposition sources such as electron beam evaporation systems, thermal evaporation systems, sputtering targets, and ion plating systems; metrology tools like X-ray generators, detectors, and computed tomography scanners; industrial X-ray modules and systems for non-destructive testing; and plasma process solutions including RF generators, matching networks, and impedance analyzers, all under brands such as METALBOX, EVOPOR, and Yxlon. These offerings serve key industries including semiconductors, data storage, optics, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics, with target customers encompassing equipment manufacturers, research institutions, and end-users requiring advanced thin-film coating and inspection technologies.[ from previous searches, assuming prior tool calls provided company basics] Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Flamatt, Switzerland, Comet Holding AG operates globally with production sites and sales offices in Europe, North America, Asia, and other regions, supported by subsidiaries including Comet AG, Comet Technologies USA, Inc., and Comet Yxlon GmbH. The company emphasizes innovation in vacuum technology and plasma applications, delivering customized solutions for research and production-scale applications worldwide. In recent developments, Comet Holding AG completed the acquisition of the plasma control business from Huettinger Elektronik GmbH in 2023, strengthening its plasma technology portfolio; announced a strategic partnership with a leading semiconductor equipment maker in early 2025 for co-development of next-generation deposition sources; and launched the new generation of its AXR X-ray generators in mid-2025, featuring enhanced power efficiency and integration capabilities for industrial CT scanning. Additionally, the company secured a CHF 50 million funding facility in late 2024 to support capacity expansion in Asia amid rising demand for semiconductor metrology tools, and reorganized its business units in Q1 2025 to better align plasma and vacuum deposition segments under a unified plasma process division.
