History
editMichael Del Castello founded the company in Hayward, California, USA in 1975 to serve the growing vacuum-industry market with high quality vacuum components at faster delivery and reasonable price. [2] Over time the company expanded its product portfolio, acquiring Insulator Seal Inc. (ISI), a ceramic-to-metal bonding company located in Sarasota, Florida in the 1990’s. Not long after that MDC acquired gas-delivery systems manufacturer ITW Semisystems to expand into the Ultra High Purity weldment segment.
