FAMETEC GmbH

A pioneer Furnace Legacy to Sapphire Crystal Growth.

FAMETEC is a European company born from the innovation and expertise of the EBNER GROUP business unit THERMAL PROCESSES a leader in industrial plant engineering with over 75 years of experience in furnace design.

FAMETEC’s story began in 2012, when EBNER’s research and development efforts led to the successful development of a unique furnace specifically designed for growing high-quality sapphire single crystals. Following this breakthrough, FAMETEC spun off from EBNER in 2020. FAMETEC leverages EBNER’s extensive knowledge in furnace design and crystal growth methods to continuously develop McSAP furnaces, allowing FAMETEC to focus on cutting-edge technology while benefiting from EBNER’s established production capabilities.

ARCTIC SAPPHIRE

Today’s production of sapphire is resource-intensive and not environmentally friendly. Current
production methods do not meet the new requirements like European Green Deal or European
Chips Act.

As ARCTIC Sapphire we are the first company in the world, which is able to produces sapphire with approximately 60 % lower energy consumption. Our technology does not pollute water or air and is still able to produce sapphire that meets the market needs in sizes and quality.

In order of the European Chips Act, ARCTIC Sapphire is able to produce sapphire for world leaders like Samsung, Apple or Phillips to produce products that the current market development requires.
