About Us

California Equipment Services was founded in 1998 in response to our customers' needs. After years of experience working for hi-tech companies in Silicon Valley, we saw a niche for a company that could provide a “one-stop second source” for busy professionals like ourselves. In addition, we saw a need for:

• Reasonable pricing for quality products and services
• Customer service with a motto of "whatever it takes to meet our customers' needs"
• A first-quality second-source supplier

Our company has grown enormously as we have pursued our goals, and we now offer the following at our centrally-located San Jose facility:

• CNC machine shop
• Clean room for small component assembly
• Dedicated precision cleaning areas, with bead blast room, ultrasonic room, and drying and bagging rooms
• Arc Spray division
• Designated areas for stocking JIT inventory for customers
• Thorough inventory of thousands of types of vacuum hardware and fasteners
• Facilities for quartz cleaning, quartz repair, and manufacture of new quartz ware
• Manufacturer / Authorized dealership for many products: precision ceramics, molybdenum products, and metrology equipment.
• Capacity to ship world-wide

As part of our customer service, at any time you may see us:

• Working evenings and week-ends to complete a rush order
• Providing emergency turn-around while a customer waits
• Visiting customer facilities to provide on-site training or trouble-shooting
• Working with you to ensure that we provide quality parts and service within your budget

The majority of our business is based on referrals, and we truly value having this type of business relationship. We look forward to talking with you about how we can work with your business to provide quality parts and services at reasonable prices.
