Busch Vacuum Solutions, part of the Busch Group, announced the construction of a Service Center in Tempe, Arizona, covering almost 5,600 square meters. The facility is scheduled to open in October 2025 and is expected to generate skilled jobs in the region.
The center will focus on the repair, maintenance, and overhaul of vacuum pumps, vacuum systems, and overpressure equipment, including turbomolecular pumps, leak detectors, valves, and accessories.

For his part, Thomas Maynard, interim director of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, said the facility will enable the company to serve a diverse customer base and strengthen the regional supply chain.
Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said the arrival of the plant will create skilled jobs and strengthen the area’s industrial infrastructure, although he did not offer specific figures on the economic impact.
