Previously named Vector Corporation, operations began in 1972 as an industrial engineer company focusing on industrial presses that were sold across multiple different industries and government entities.

In the late 1980’s, Vector’s market switched from industrial powder applications (such as munitions and powdered metals) to the management of pharmaceutical grade powders and processes. The 1990’s brought another change to the business as FREUND (Tokyo, Japan), purchased Vector.

FREUND-VECTOR Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets equipment and services for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and many other industries. The equipment processes such materials as powders, particles, beads, pellets, tablets, and other solid materials for those markets. Product lines include Fluid Beds; High Shear Granulators; Coating Pans; Roll Compactors; Spray Dryers; and Material Handling.

Unique in-house laboratory facilities located in Marion, IA (USA) and Milan, Italy specialize in product feasibility, process development and process technology, providing processing expertise to support all of the product lines.

The solutions that we provide improve processes and ultimately the quality of life for people around the globe and has propelled FV into the powerhouse status you see today.
