Who are we?
Low2High Vacuum is a Gothenburg-based company with a branch office in Enköping.
As the name suggests, Low2High Vacuum works with everything from low vacuum to ultra-high vacuum. We specialize in vacuum technology, and our core business focuses on the sale of products and the provision of services related to vacuum technology and its surrounding fields. Our team has extensive experience and has been supplying vacuum technology to the Swedish market for over 60 years.
In addition to supplying products such as vacuum pumps, measuring instruments, instrumentation, and aftermarket solutions for these, we also offer helium leak testing services on behalf of our customers.

Our history
The journey of our company has been shaped by many milestones and transformations. Today, we are known as Low2High Vacuum AB, but our roots trace back through Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum Scandinavia AB, Leybold AB, and Nordiska Heraeus AB.
Our Swedish story began in 1962, when Gösta Brogren, Emil Bengtsson, and Lars Erik Ekdal founded Nordiska Heraeus AB. In 1968, the company became part of Leybold Heraeus, operating as their subsidiary. Over the decades, ownership changes brought several name transitions. Lars Erik Ekdal served as CEO until his retirement in 1995.
Following him, the CEO role was held by Lars Mila, Gerd Schneider, and Chris Ball. In 2005, Christer Bengtsson assumed leadership as CEO. During his tenure, he was offered the opportunity by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum to acquire the company through a Management Buyout (MBO), successfully completed in November 2009. Today, his son Pontus Bengtsson leads the company as CEO, continuing to drive Low2High Vacuum forward.
The name Low2High Vacuum embodies our mission: we provide solutions spanning the full range from low to high vacuum levels, reflecting our commitment to covering the entire spectrum of vacuum technology.
