About Alca Technology
We design, build and test vacuum systems and components for scientific research and qualified industry, in Schio since 1999.
Founded in 1999, Alca Technology Srl was established with the goal of pushing the boundaries of innovation within the industrial vacuum sector.
Expertise
The company leverages over three decades of its founders’ experience to design, manufacture and test high-precision components and complete vacuum systems. These solutions are engineered for leading research centers, universities and companies specializing in thin-film applications, with custom chambers built to each project’s shape, size and thermal specifications.
Facilities & capacity
Production runs in an extensive facility of about 2,000 m2 of covered space plus 1,000 m2 outdoors. The 1,000 m2 assembly and testing area features an anti-dust resin floor, 10-ton overhead cranes and jib cranes, and is fully climate-controlled so every step is carried out at precisely monitored temperatures. An independent, overpressured cleanroom with pocket filters handles operations that demand maximum cleanliness.
Quality & delivery
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification, achieved early on, together with the advanced qualifications of our technical team, reflects a lasting commitment to the highest standards. Aware of how much delivery times matter on large-scale projects, we invest heavily in production planning, using dedicated management software fully interfaced with our Quality System.

Alca Technology is founded
Alca Technology is founded in Schio, in the province of Vicenza, with the aim of designing, manufacturing and testing components and systems for scientific research and for the most qualified industrial sectors in the field of vacuum technologies.
From the very beginning, the company focuses on technical expertise, operational flexibility and problem solving capabilities, supporting researchers, universities, research centres and specialized companies.
Quality and certified processes
Alca Technology’s growth is supported from the start by a strong commitment to quality, technical training and process control.
UNI ISO 9001 certification becomes one of the key elements of the company’s operating model, confirming its commitment to high standards of reliability, precision and production continuity.
International research collaborations
Alca Technology strengthens its presence in the Thin Films, PVD and Ultra High Vacuum sectors, collaborating with leading research centres, universities and international laboratories.
During these years, the company further develops its engineering know how in the design and manufacturing of complex systems, special components and high technology custom solutions.
AlcaSpace is launched
Alca Technology introduces AlcaSpace, the new division entirely dedicated to the aerospace industry.
Building on the experience gained in the UV and UHV fields, AlcaSpace is created to design, manufacture and test standard and custom made space simulation chambers developed according to each customer’s specific requirements.
A new operational facility
Alca Technology takes a new step in its growth path with the opening of a new operational facility.
This investment strengthens the company’s ability to support increasingly complex projects, enhancing people, technical expertise, operating procedures, equipment and technologies.
Space simulation chamber testing
AlcaSpace further consolidates its expertise in Thermal Vacuum Chambers, making the testing of space simulation chambers an in house capability.
This milestone represents a strategic step towards offering increasingly complete, reliable and aerospace oriented solutions.
Technology, people and future
Today, Alca Technology and AlcaSpace continue to grow as specialized players in Thin Films, Ultra High Vacuum and Space Economy applications.
Thanks to the trust of international companies, institutes and research centres, the group continues to invest in new technologies, research and development, turning precision, innovation and expertise into tangible value for its customers.
Dynamic, flexible, close to those who do research.
The founders have always pursued a single goal: a dynamic, flexible firm with a problem-solving attitude, providing practical assistance to researchers and companies that require high quality components with high added value.
We give priority to the manufacturing culture of our area: a network of highly specialised partner companies brings efficiency and flexibility, while engineering, welding, assembly and testing stay under our roof.
