JET-VAC Technologies and Unique Systems

Respected Vacuum Legacies, Now Connected Through Artisan Industries

JET-VAC Technologies and the vacuum product legacy of Unique Systems now move forward under Artisan Industries. We’re here to guide customers to the appropriate Artisan destination for vacuum products, replacement parts, and service-related support.

Legacy and Transition

A Clear Path Forward for Two Established Vacuum Brands

For decades, JET-VAC Technologies and Unique Systems each earned recognition for their contributions to engineered vacuum solutions in demanding industrial environments. Founded in 1952, JET-VAC became known for dependable steam jet vacuum systems and practical process vacuum solutions valued for their simplicity, reliability, and cost efficiency. Founded in 1973, Unique Systems built its reputation through precision manufacturing and engineered vacuum system components, particularly for applications involving significant condensable vapor loads.

Today, those vacuum product legacies continue through Artisan Industries. JET-VAC has been partnered with Artisan since 1952 and then acquired by Artisan in 1986. Unique Systems vacuum products assets were acquired by Artisan in 2021. Customers looking for vacuum-related products and support can now be directed to the appropriate resources within the Artisan platform.
