Abstract

www.caburn.co.uk

Founded in 1991 with the aim of selling vacuum components to the European scientific community through a catalogue, Caburn originally employed a team of six people and operated from The Old Dairy in picturesque Glynde, East Sussex.

Caburn's first multicurrency European catalog was published in 1992, and since then, the original team of six has since grown to a 40-strong group of multilingual, dedicated professionals operating in offices across Europe.

In 1994, a French sales office opened in Lyon. Later that year, Caburn expanded further by opening a German office in Berlin. In 1995, a third European office opened in Torino, Italy. Also in 1995, Caburn acquired an engineering division to provide custom equipment in addition to the standard products already on offer.

In June 2005, the assets of Caburn Vacuum Science were purchased by a consortium of private individuals who launched a new company: Caburn-MDC Europe Limited. This new company has now moved into a combined facility in Uckfield, East Sussex, bringing all of the sales, distribution and engineering expertise our customers rely on together under one roof.

The Caburn name and presence is well established throughout Europe for both quality service and vacuum components.
