A vacuum technology company that builds furnaces, runs vacuum heat treatment and stands behind both

Lakshmi Vacuum Group, based in Bengaluru, started in 2003 as a vacuum heat treatment service and has grown into a complete vacuum technology company. Today we manufacture industrial vacuum furnaces through Lakshmi Vacuum Technologies Pvt. Ltd., provide commercial vacuum heat treatment, and support furnaces for life with spares, service and AMC, plus thermocouple manufacturing and calibration.

Our customers make aerospace and space hardware, automotive and EV parts, tools and dies, medical implants, rare earth magnets and more. They rely on us for clean, repeatable, traceable vacuum processing, and for a partner who supports the equipment for its whole life.

Led by founder and Group Managing Director Mr. L. N. Prasad, a team of 200+ professionals has delivered 450+ furnaces to customers in 10+ countries.

From a vacuum heat treatment shop to a complete vacuum technology company

  1. 2003

    We started as vacuum heat treaters

    Mr. L. N. Prasad began Lakshmi Vacuum in Bengaluru as a vacuum heat treatment service, when the technology was largely mastered abroad and still new to India.

  2. Then

    We built our own furnaces

    Our vacuum heat treatment centres show us first-hand what customers need from a furnace. That experience went into designing and manufacturing indigenous vacuum furnaces.

  3. Today

    One partner for the full lifecycle

    450+ furnaces delivered, 3000+ customers, 9+ vacuum heat treatment centres and customers in 10+ countries, with spares, AMC, thermocouples and calibration alongside.

Frequently asked questions

What does Lakshmi Vacuum Group do?

Lakshmi Vacuum Group designs and manufactures industrial vacuum furnaces, provides commercial vacuum heat treatment, and supports furnaces for life with genuine spares, service, AMC, thermocouple manufacturing and calibration.

Where is Lakshmi Vacuum Group based?

Lakshmi Vacuum Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and has been operating since 2003.

Who leads Lakshmi Vacuum Group?

Lakshmi Vacuum Group is led by its founder and Group Managing Director, Mr. L. N. Prasad, who started the company in Bengaluru in 2003 and has led its growth from a vacuum heat treatment service into a complete vacuum technology company.

How did Lakshmi Vacuum start?

Lakshmi Vacuum began in 2003 as a vacuum heat treatment service in Bengaluru, when the technology was new to India. It later added vacuum furnace manufacturing, spares and service, and thermocouple calibration.

What vacuum furnaces does Lakshmi Vacuum manufacture?

The range has 14 product lines: vacuum brazing, sintering, hardening, degassing, carburizing and melting furnaces, vacuum ovens, autoclaves, thermo-vacuum simulation chambers, vacuum hot presses, low-pressure nitriding, vacuum strip casting, pack aluminizing furnaces and rare earth magnetic mineral processing equipment.

What is a thermo-vacuum simulation chamber (TVAC)?

A TVAC reproduces the high vacuum and extreme temperature cycling of space on the ground. Lakshmi Vacuum builds TVAC chambers that reach 5×10⁻⁶ mbar with LN₂-cooled thermal shrouds, used to qualify satellites, payloads and flight hardware.

Does Lakshmi Vacuum make equipment for rare earth magnet processing?

Yes. Lakshmi Vacuum manufactures rare earth magnetic mineral processing furnaces for NdFeB and SmCo materials, along with vacuum strip casting and vacuum sintering furnaces used in rare earth magnet production.

What is vacuum heat treatment and why use it?

Vacuum heat treatment heats metal parts inside a vacuum chamber, so there is no air to cause oxidation or decarburisation. It gives clean, bright parts, uniform heating with controlled cooling to limit distortion, and programmed cycles that repeat from batch to batch.

Can I get vacuum heat treatment done without buying a furnace?

Yes. Our vacuum heat treatment centres across 9+ locations in India process your components on our own furnaces.

Do you service furnaces made by other manufacturers?

Yes. We offer genuine spares, service and annual maintenance contracts for every furnace we build, and for third-party vacuum furnaces too.

Do you deliver vacuum furnaces outside India?

Yes. Lakshmi Vacuum has delivered furnaces to customers in 10+ countries, with installation, commissioning and operator training handled by our own team.

What is the Versatreat range?

Versatreat is Lakshmi Vacuum's range of vacuum furnaces. New features are validated through six months of on-site trials before they are introduced into the range.

Which industries use Lakshmi Vacuum furnaces?

Aerospace, space, automotive, tooling, medical implants, powder metallurgy, rare earth magnets, specialty alloys, composites and ceramics, surface engineering, electronics and research institutions.
