Alcatel Vacuum Pumps, Leak Detectors and Telecommunications Equipment
Alcatel grew out of CGE, the French conglomerate formed in 1898 by engineer Pierre Azaria. The Alcatel name came from a small Mulhouse firm that CGE absorbed in 1966. Alcatel acquired Newbridge Networks of Canada in February 2000 and merged with Lucent Technologies in 2006. On December 31, 2010, Pfeiffer Vacuum closed its purchase of Adixen, the Alcatel-Lucent vacuum technology unit headquartered in Annecy, France. Nokia completed its acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent in 2016.
Alcatel's main business was telecommunications: fixed, mobile and converged networking hardware, IP technologies, software and services for service providers and enterprises. Its vacuum technology unit, which did business under the Adixen name, made vacuum pumps and leak detectors, backing pumps among them. Labs and production lines often keep older vacuum pumps running through service and rebuilds, so controllers and spare parts for earlier models stay in demand.
