The Lab 14 group of companies
A strong partnership fostering growth and innovation
With the objective of further increasing our business opportunities we have looked for a strong partner. Therefore, amcoss has been member of the LAB14 Group since beginning of 2023. Successful high-tech companies within the field of nano- and microfabrication and surface analysis and approx. 1000 employees worldwide belong to the group. Together the Lab14 companies offer complementary, innovative products, production solutions and services for a wide range of applications.
Lab14 supports growth of each of its individual companies and at the same time fosters synergies between the companies to generate a competitive and technological advantage over other players in the field. So, we can use synergy effects to serve our customers in the best possible way. The Lab14 headquarter is located in Heidelberg, Germany.

OUR MOTTO
Orientation towards results, quality, trust
We do not offer mainstream products. Whether it is the most insignificant small part or our fully automatic equipment, you can expect individual solutions in all aspects. Customer orientation is no mere lip service for us, but the entire foundation of our business.
We constantly create taylor-made products and processes in a pragmatic and absolutely results-oriented manner. With sound expert knowledge, our hands on mentality and a great portion of innovative spirit, as well as inventiveness, we always come up with what our customers need and other suppliers can’t do. At the same time you can absolutely trust the quality of our products and processes. With our quality work we also support our customers in maintaining the quality of their production processes and consequently, their finished products. So, many renowned companies are among our customers, with whom we have been sharing longtime business relationships based on mutual trust.
In the heart of Europe
amcoss GmbH has 2 locations in Vorarlberg:
The headquarters and business unit `components´ is located in Feldkirch. This is where the development of optical and mechatronic components from the semiconductor industry is located, including a laboratory for processing and assembling the components, equipped with special, high-precision measuring technology instruments and an adjoining clean room.
Our ‘systems’ business unit, which develops and builds our wafer processing systems, has a new production site located a few kilometres away in Koblach.
Vorarlberg is a scenic and beautiful industrial region in the west of Austria, characterised by modern SMEs. The internationally active company sells its products and services from here to many countries around the world, working with strong, specialised partners worldwide to develop high-quality solutions.
Constant sustainability since the beginning
Sustainability is in vogue. Every company concerned about its reputation currently
occupies this topic. amcoss also, especially its finished products, are sustainable and have been since the beginning. So, sustainability becoming of public interest over the last years, has always been of central interest to us. Our components and equipment present savings potential in various respects because they improve our customers´ cost- and energy efficiency and they contribute to saving resources and occupational safety. They are part of circular economy and make it become reality. Many of our components are brought back into the economic cycle and therefore prolong the lifetimes of machines for which manufacturers no longer offer spare parts or repair services and so force customers into buying new equipment and to destroy old, but still functional machines.
