Getters
S.p.A.
(the
Group)
is
in
the
business
of
getter
technology
used
to
create
and
maintain
vacuum
and
purified
gas
environments.
High-vacuum
and
purified
gas
environments
are
required
in
the
production
of
a
wide
range
of
products
in
several
high-
to
medium-technology
industries,
as
well
as
in
scientific
applications,
such
as
traditional
electronics,
semiconductors,
lighting,
telecommunications,
appliances
and
laboratory
physics
experiments.
The
Group's
primary
product,
the
getter,
is
used
to
improve
and
maintain
a
vacuum.
It
is
a
device
composed
of
metal
or
a
metal
alloy,
which
exhibits
a
chemical
affinity
for
specific
gases
and
which,
when
introduced
into
an
evacuated
device,
will
absorb
the
targeted
gaseous
molecules
present,
creating
and
maintaining
an
appropriate
vacuum
or,
when
used
for
gas
purification
purposes,
creating
a
highly
purified
gas. | More
