About VAI
Leaders in Contamination Control
For nearly 40 years, Veltek Associates, Inc. (VAI®), headquartered in Malvern, PA, has pioneered the design and manufacture of hundreds of cleanroom solutions that surround contamination control. These innovations, many of them landmarks in the industry’s history, allow our customers to overcome challenges and reach their business goals. Plus, VAI clients have more than a solutions provider, they have a partner and trusted advisor. With today’s complex research challenges, new competition, and increasing government regulations, a true partnership is more important than ever.
For us, it’s simple. Innovation is about listening to industry challenges directly from our customers and not stopping until we find the answer. Together with our clients, we have been developing new solutions for the cleanroom industry for more than 40 years attaining over 150 worldwide patents. Our innovations have allowed our clients to do remarkable things— from biotechnology breakthroughs to pharmaceutical discoveries—that help millions of people every day. From our early days of developing the first sterile garments to our latest innovations, VAI develops products that revolutionize and simplify aseptic manufacturing.
Our goal is to provide complete, full circle contamination control products, service, testing and training. Unmatched in the industry, VAI combines multiple disciplines and related products and services that all combine together to provide a full circle contamination control partner and resource for GMP, Healthcare, Lab Animal Semiconductor and Electronics requirements. The products from VAI’s four divisions build upon each other, making the company a full-circle, single-source supplier able to address any pharmaceutical or biotechnology contamination control requirement.
However, it is not enough to just listen. VAI’s corporate directive is to assure that we use and QC the finest raw ingredients/components, manufacture the highest quality product, test the product to the highest standards, stay on the cutting edge of innovation and technology, assure timely delivery and have unmatched client relationships and customer service. Combining experience, innovation, performance, GMP manufacturing, GLP Testing Services, and unrelenting service has propelled VAI as the ultimate innovative leader in the market.
Our History
History of Innovation = Future of Promise
VAI® was founded in 1981 by Arthur L. Vellutato, Sr. as a direct result of his answers to the challenges the industry faced. Our main goal, therefore, became developing simple and concise solutions to the common problems experienced within cleanroom operations.
Applying his more than 30 years of experience in finding alternative methods for established industry practices in the pharmaceutical industry, his leadership of VAI resulted in a continuous stream of successful products that is still carried on today. If one word was synonymous with VAI it would be innovation. Since its founding, VAI has followed two corporate principles—listen and innovate. Together with our customers, we have designed and manufactured countless products and services that are designed to meet current industry needs, as well as serving the industry for years to come.
After Arthur L. Vellutato, Sr.’s passing in 2009, his son, Arthur L. Vellutato, Jr., took over as President and CEO of VAI after over 20 years serving as the Director of Sales, Marketing, and Technical Operations. Arthur L. Vellutato, Jr. brought his love of VAI and constant attention to customer satisfaction to his new role as leader and driving force of VAI’s continued success.
With its continued strong growth, VAI is poised to create innovative products and services to further simplify and advance the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research and development industries. Our inspiration is to use the knowledge we have acquired along with the assistance of our customers to continue developing alternative methods to aid and simplify established industry practices, as well as create new and innovative processes.
