To transform heavy fabrication by providing revolutionary welding systems that deliver unparalleled single-pass welding speeds and certifiable structural integrity, while drastically reducing operational costs and carbon emissions
To build upon our worldwide reputation and technological innovations to become a premier global supplier for next-generation manufacturing.
CVE’s history began in the late 1950s in Cambridge, UK, with the founding of Torvac: a company specialising in the manufacture of electron beam welders and vacuum furnaces. Torvac purchased the Hawker Siddley Dynamics ‘Dynaweld’ technology, which added 150kV welders to our range.
In the late 1980s, Torvac and Wentgate Engineers were both acquired by Thermal Scientific, under their new TI Group ownership. The companies reconciled, moved to the Waterbeach site, and began trading under a new name – Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE).
In 2001, Aquasium Technology Ltd became the new owner of CVE, which saw CVE go from strength to strength, adding revolutionary technologies Ebflow and Ebflow Light to CVE’s product line – as well as laser welding systems.
In 2007, CVE merged with WDI in the USA creating a new subsidiary CVE Inc., based in Massachusetts, expanding our global presence and reach.
In 2020, CVE opened an office in China, allowing us to meet the demands of continued growth in the region and ensure our customers continue to receive first-class support.
CVE’s 60-year history results in exceptional process know-how, as well as industry-leading quality, design, and support: across all systems and products – Torvac, Wentgate and Dynaweld inclusive.
