Provac Sales Inc. Announces Their New Web Page
Years ago, when web pages were a new concept, Provac Sales was one of the first companies to post a listing of products and services. Years later, after thousands of visits, this web page was looking outdated. Working with a local web page developer, Sleepless Media, we kept the original format of listing vacuum pumps and prices, but made our site easier to navigate, and with more information.
David Hoyle started Provac in June of 1990. Prior to that, he was a regional manager for Stokes Vacuum for 3 1/2 years and a direct sales person for Alcatel Vacuum for 3 years. While at Alcatel, he landed and managed the largest single contract Alcatel ever had in the US: Applied Materials.
“Working in Silicon Valley was a lot of fun in the 80s” he states. “The semiconductor industry was booming. Most of the big domestic equipment manufacturers were actually manufacturing in Silicon Valley. The cold war was peaking with defense contractors working on huge orders. The local universities had research contracts and new types of technology were constantly being introduced. It was a great time to learn the many facets of the vacuum pump business”.
Paul Flood, General Manager of Provac for the last 11 years, came to Provac with an extensive background in the manufacturing industry. Being from a family of noted physicists, he is a quick learner and is now an expert on most vacuum pumps and applications.
In the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, when manufacturers and their service groups were leaving Silicon Valley and laying people off, Provac started hiring their top-of-the-line technicians, some with 20+ years in their areas of expertise. It was a good opportunity: with a roster of highly experienced people, Provac filled the void created when the vacuum pump manufacturers cut back on people and service.
Since the 1990 inception, Provac Sales, Inc. has been the factory authorized sales representative for Tuthill/Kinney and Inland Vacuum (vacuum pump fluids and greases) for all activity in Northern and Central California.
The collective mantra of Provac is to maintain an extensive inventory of ready-to-ship rebuilt vacuum pumps and provide immediate technical support to people when they need it. In the current business environment, it can be difficult to get a fast response from companies. Try finding somebody who can take your call at 3:00 PM, help you figure out the best solution to a problem, take an order and ship out the needed product the same day. This is what we do, every day.
We offer expertise for Alcatel, Busch, CTI, Ebara, Edwards, Leybold, Kinney, Pfeiffer, Stokes, Varian, Veeco and Welch for blower booster, cryo, diffusion, dry, helium leak detectors, liquid ring, piston, scroll, vane pumps and all vacuum pump fluids and greases.
