Intevac, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:IVAC) received orders for five 200 Lean® magnetic disk sputtering systems scheduled for delivery in 2008.

Intevac Chief Executive Kevin Fairbairn stated: We are very pleased to receive these orders which reflect our customers commitment to invest in leading edge media technology production capacity. The systems are scheduled to be installed in the second and third quarters of the year."

The 200 Lean is Intevacs disk sputtering system that provides higher throughput from a smaller footprint, which enables more magnetic disks to be manufactured per square foot of factory floor space, and is designed to reduce overall cost of ownership. The 200 Leans flexible and modular design accommodates the production of multiple sizes of both aluminum and glass disks, as well as the growing number of thin-film process steps required by the adoption of advanced technologies such as perpendicular recording.
