Intevac Receives First Production Order for Its 200 Lean(R) Gen II

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVAC) received an order for two 200 Lean® Gen II magnetic disk sputtering systems scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2008.

The 200 Lean Gen II is Intevac’s latest disk sputtering system that provides 25% higher throughput than the original 200 Lean, which enables more magnetic disks to be manufactured per square foot of factory floor space, and is designed to reduce overall cost per disk.

Intevac Chief Executive Kevin Fairbairn stated: “We are pleased to receive the first production order for our 200 Lean Gen II system. The Gen II demonstrates our continued success in developing products that meet our customers’ need for higher productivity and reduced manufacturing costs."
