About
Leybold GmbH was founded by Ernst Leybold in Cologne in 1850 and is still based in Cologne, now as part of the Swedish industrial group Atlas Copco. The company celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2025. Its core competencies are the development of components and systems for generating vacuum and for gas management engineering. Leybold provides forevacuum pumps and turbomolecular pumps, including the oil-free ECODRY plus multi-stage roots pump with very low vibration, for quantum computing. Quantum computers require some components chilled to near absolute zero while others are kept in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). Leybold's COOLPOWER range of Gifford-McMahon closed-cycle coldheads enables faster pumping to UHV, and its PHOENIX range provides leak detection that meets the accuracy and speed requirements of quantum research. The company serves quantum computing research laboratories and manufacturers that need ultra-high vacuum environments and precision leak detection for quantum processor fabrication and operation.
