 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED, SECTOR DIVERSE

A common ideology for all component manufacturers
Crest Ultrasonics is a fine example of a company whose vertical integration serves to provide overall machine or component cost reduction, and improvement in the overall quality levels.  This has provided our clients with substantially better ultrasonic machines and components.  How vertical is Crest?  Our holding company, the Crest Group Inc.  designs and manufacturers all performance piezo ceramics through Piezo Kinetics Inc, located in Bellefonte, PA. These piezo ceramic components are the very foundation of all of our ultrasonic cleaning devices that are manufactured. 

Additionally, all transducers are designed and fabricated in Germany by Martin Walter AG.  These transducers are recognized as the best in the world due to their higher operating frequencies and stronger amplitude.  These systems feature ULTRASONIC HEADS on both side of the transducer, provided the aforementioned benefits as well as an improvement in cavitations.

Our power systems and transducers are developed exclusively by the wholly owned subsidiary Uthe Technology Inc.  For years, these patented power systems have provided steady voltage and amplitude output, which is of course ideal for ultrasonic applications.  Currently,Uthe is the world's leading manufacturer of semiconductor bonding power supplies and transducers controlling about 65 percent of the world market.
