    How we do it

    In-house know-how for quality-essential processes

    The reliability and advanced design of our components are key to helping your product or system to perform optimally over its entire lifetime. Durable hermetic protection requires expert material selection and tight control over production processes:

    Glass development, melting, and processing

    As a glass company at heart, glass expertise and manufacturing capabilities set us apart in glass-to-metal sealing and all-glass packaging by SCHOTT Primoceler Oy. From material development to selection and processing, SCHOTT’s glass development, melting, glass powder milling, and preform manufacturing are all managed in-house. If we don’t have a suitable sealing glass, we will develop one.

    Optimal combination of materials

    Only inorganic materials like glass, metal, and ceramics can provide a true gas-tight hermetic seal. We customize each hermetic package to meet specific application needs by considering factors such as thermal expansion and operating conditions like pressure, temperature, current, voltage, and weldability. Selecting the best combination of metal and glass enables optimal performance, thermal management, and precise specifications.

    Advanced design and validation

    Our development process is built on close collaboration with you to produce optimized designs. With extensive experience and expertise, our engineers can often improve upon original product concepts. They also use advanced simulation and testing methods to thoroughly validate the feasibility and performance of each component design.

    Global in-house sealing and plating

    SCHOTT sets itself apart with comprehensive global in-house sealing and plating services. Our glass sealing takes place in highly controlled oven conditions with optimized temperatures and gas compositions. Additionally, our extensive in-house plating expertise reduces lead times and offers you consistent quality.

    How we add value for our customers

    Explore how our advanced hermetic packaging solutions incorporate design improvements beyond durability – such as miniaturization, streamlined component architecture and enhanced material compatibility – to give you a distinct competitive advantage.
