Company change
Since beginning of May 2024, the gas components and ESC (E-Chucks) activities within SEMCO Technologies have been legally separated in order to better meet the specific needs of our customers as well as to market developments.
Our new company, named ECM COMPONENTS, is part of the ECM Group, such as our previous legal entity SEMCO Technologies. ESC activity stays in SEMCO Technologies.
ECM Components SAS currently brings together three activities: the supply of gas components and gas panels under the FLOWLINK brand, the supply of evaporators under the KEMSTREAM brand, and the supply of metal filters under the PORAL Filtration brand.
This strategic decision aims to strengthen our positioning in each area of activity and to guarantee a better focus of resources and skills.

New Vapbox 300
KEMSTREAM introduces on the market a new version of the Vapbox 300, its best seller DLI vaporizer. Compared to the former version of the Vapbox 300, this new version features an improved internal design with new baffle geometry to increase vaporisation efficiency. The vaporization chamber of the new Vapbox 300 version is also able to operate up to 250°C for only 220°C for the former version. These modifications improve the global perfomances of the DLI vaporizer and open new possibilities and markets for the Vapbox 300.
