Vertical Integration
Vertically Integrated, Sector Diverse

A common ideology for all component manufacturers
Crest Ultrasonics is a fine example of a company whose vertical integration serves to provide overall machine or component cost reduction, and improvement in the overall quality levels.  This has provided our clients with substantially better ultrasonic machines and components.  How vertical is Crest?  Our holding company, the Crest Group Inc.  designs and manufacturers all performance piezo ceramics through Piezo Kinetics Inc, located in Bellefonte, PA. These piezo ceramic components are the very foundation of all of our ultrasonic cleaning devices that are manufactured. 

Additionally, all transducers are designed and fabricated in Germany by Martin Walter AG.  These transducers are recognized as the best in the world due to their higher operating frequencies and stronger amplitude.  These systems feature ULTRASONIC HEADS on both side of the transducer, provided the aforementioned benefits as well as an improvement in cavitations.

Our power systems and transducers are developed exclusively by the wholly owned subsidiary Uthe Technology Inc.  For years, these patented power systems have provided steady voltage and amplitude output, which is of course ideal for ultrasonic applications.  Currently, Uthe is the world's leading manufacturer of semiconductor bonding power supplies and transducers controlling about 65 percent of the world market

Cleaning tanks are designed and developed by both Martin Walter of Germany and by Crest Malaysia.  With our new patented silicon carbide designs, cleaning tanks are the latest recipient of Crest innovation.  These tanks virtually eliminate all cavitations erosion, while greatly improving the transmission of ultrasonic sound.  They last virtually forever, and can greatly reduce the total cost of ownership for tabletop units and specialty systems.  Like our stainless steel tanks, these vestibules come in a variety of sizes and shapes.  Additionally, our manufacturing division can arrive at custom sizes to meet the needs of all cleaning environments. 

Our custom systems are designed in the United States and manufactured at our 65,000 sq. ft. state of the art manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia.  This facility has been broadly recognized as one of the most innovative and quality producing facilities in the ultrasonic industry.  Crest specialty and factory cleaning systems are brought to fruition with the same level of quality as our standardized products.  No other company makes more custom ultrasonic cleaning systems than Crest anywhere in the world.  From this location, we provide hundreds of machines a year, shipped throughout the world.  Service is powered by our global distribution network, with replacement parts and service either same day or next day away.  The combination of Crest Ultrasonic’s vertical integration and global customer support network make for a compelling value proposition.
