VacPuc announces a new partnership with North American distributor, Technology Marketing Inc. (TMI, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.).
Founded in New Zealand in 2022, VacPuc is a digital vacuum gage that enables simple and accurate pressure measurement inside a vacuum bag, which is fundamental to achieving quality outcomes in composites manufacturing processes. A VacPuc transmits pressure readings directly to a smartphone for instant, on-demand data.
According to the company, the wireless and battery-less VacPuc works while retaining the vacuum bag’s integrity, whereas conventional pressure gages in composites manufacturing processes require the vacuum bag to be pierced. A VacPuc works by measuring pressure remotely through the vacuum bag, which can reduce the chance of leaks.
“We are delighted to partner with TMI to help grow our business in North America,” says VacPuc founder Dr. Chris Hickey. “TMI is an established company, with over 46 years of tried and true experience in the North American composites market. With their innovative approach and business alliances, we are confident that together we can serve the aerospace and other industries that manufacture fiber-reinforced composites.”
With this North American partnership in place, VacPuc is now a global business with select distributors in place across the world.
TMI will be demonstrating VacPuc at CAMX 2024.
