Intevac, Inc. was a producer of thin film deposition systems and equipment for making hard disk drives.[1] Headquartered in Silicon Valley in Santa Clara, California,[2] it also had offices in China, Malaysia, and Singapore.[3]

Founded in 1991 as a spin-off of Varian Associates, the company went public four years later and reported having $13.8 million in revenue in the first half of 2022.[4] In January 2022, the American firm divested its photonics business to Eotech for over $70 million.[5]

In February 2025, hard disk drive maker Seagate Technology announced it would acquire Intevac for $119 million in an all-cash deal.[6] The purchase was completed a month later.[7]
