3 Global Partnerships AcornVac Inc. Avac enjoys and benefits from a long standing technical and commercial relationship with AcornVac Inc of Chino California, a significant manufacturer of vacuum components, such as vacuum rated valves and other vacuum system components. For its part Avac offers technical design assistance and component testing for AcornVac. This relationship extends over 20 years and is cemented by the even longer standing personal relationship between the respective corporate proprietors. Marimatic Oy Avac also enjoys the benefit of a technology and commercial relationship with Marimatic Oy from Finland. Marimatic, which is a division of parent Maricap Oy, disrupted the municipal scale vacuum waste collection industry, when they developed and patented technology, which facilitated the dramatic downsizing of waste pipe diameters and consequently the energy requirements to move the waste. Marimatic were seeking to bring those technological advantages to the Asian & Australian markets in conjunction with a local partner who had the market presence and track record in vacuum project management that would enable projects to be successfully executed. The resultant partnership with Avac was created.
