Company

1. ATD manufacturing plant.

Located in Algete (Madrid) close to Madrid Barajas Airport, it is a 4000 m2 ceramic materials production plant fitted with large mass production equipment, including:

  • A general purpose big scale production furnace, up to 1700 ºC and over de 3 m3 capacity, gas fed.
  • Three additional furnaces for test and assays, as well as several heaters.
  • An industrial drying room with over 20 m2.
  • A Nitrogen plant for nitruration and special thermal treatment
  • A full system for monolithic material not stopping production, including an automatic packer unit.
  • Other miscellaneous equipment: press, balls mill, lathes, drills, mixers, etc.

2. ATD R&D labs

Located in Alcorcón, within the Business Park “El Encinar”, just by the exit 36 of Highway M-40 in Madrid, it is fully devoted to the ATD R&D activities.

We count on several spaces for the different activities:

  • Mechanical workshop
  • Sample analysis and processing
  • Electronic Lab
  • Chemical Lab
  • Development and tests Lab
  • Clean Room
  • High temperature vacuum furnace room



  • Mechanical workshop
  • Chiller




  • High-temperature vacuum furnace
  • Chemical Laboratory

The vacuum furnace system allows the synthesis of any material, being able to reach up to 10-7 torr and up to 1650 ºC.

Development and test Lab is equipped with 4 vacuum chambers for  different purposes:

  • Devices performance tests   
  • Oxidation processes                                               
  • Sputtering deposition processes
  • Plasma etching processes.

All of them are reaching up to 10-7 Torr and have, as standard elements:

  • PC with screen(s), keyboard, and WLAN connection
  • Turbo pump Edwards mounted on an ISO 100
  • Auxiliar pump Alcatel OME 25s
  • 1 air pressure circuit for cleaning/valves operation             
  • 2 gas inlet circuits
  • 2 mass flow controllers
  • 1 water cooling chilling circuit
  • Several air cooling fans system
