About CSM

Concept Systems Manufacturing, Inc. (CSM) was founded in September 2006 by Richard Diehl in partnership with Novellus Systems. CSM was originated with the sole purpose of building new and refurbishing Concept One Tools with the OEM. It is the only company worldwide that is authorized and licensed by Novellus.

This unique non-competitive partnership with Novellus provides the link that enables CSM to manufacture Concept One tools of impeccable quality. Our purpose, protocol and standard of excellence is maintained though this relationship. We are continually working with Novellus engineering to produce and implement upgrades in safety, production and serviceability.

CSM follows the exacting standard set by Novellus. CSM only uses OEM Novellus parts. There may be a small percentage of refurbished material – However that material is refurbished to new condition by the original manufacturer and is covered under the tool warranty. Every tool is built from the frame up following exact manufacturing protocol from sub-assembly to final test. All of our engineers have 15+ years experience working for Novellus manufacturing. During final test and quality assurance (QA), full protocol is followed, documented, and available for the end user. Though our relationship with Novellus, CSM can also offer authorized programs and extended Novellus warranties.

CSM invites our customers to come by our shop any time and be present during any stage of the build and through-out test. We are a small, proficient and organized company that maintains an open door policy.

We are proud that we maintain one goal - To produce the best Novellus Concept One Tool available on the market.
