From its modest origins in 1948 in Cleveland, Ohio, Godfrey & Wing has become the world’s leading vacuum impregnation provider, with a footprint spanning North America, Europe, and Asia(Image 1). It’s grown through true innovation by following its mantra “Simply Better”. This has guided the company to re-imagine and re-engineer vacuum impregnation to make it faster, cleaner, and easier to use than ever before. Today, the company serves customers through hundreds of program approvals and equipment installations worldwide.
In recent years, the company has entered projects with major OEMs and suppliers to provide vacuum impregnation technology for applications ranging from electric vehicle battery pack assemblies, graphite, and ceramics.
