Automation
After a number of years of manufacturing our own machinery to establish our global sites, we decided to utilise the engineering skillset within Teconnex UK to benefit our customers.
Automation Technologies
Before designing any new machine, we work closely with our customers to fully understand their processes and automation challenges. We review the requirements in detail, identify any pain points, and develop a concept that integrates smoothly into their existing operations. Often, our solutions are designed to speed up production, improve product quality and repeatability, and lower overall manufacturing costs.
We provide automation systems for a wide range of industries and applications (see our core competencies below). Using the latest technologies and components, we tailor each solution to address our customers' specific problems, whatever they may be.
For many years, we’ve also developed custom systems for our own factories. These machines are now operating successfully across four continents. We’ve designed and built equipment used to create parts for leading global companies, including ABB, Daimler, Hyundai, and Cummins, to name but a few.
All our equipment is designed and manufactured in line with all relevant manufacturing standards and legislation.
Our custom machinery is built at our 90,000 sq. ft. Teconnex UK facility. Here, our dedicated team handles every stage, from design and manufacture to testing and on-site installation.

Our Process
Our UK-based team manages every stage of the design and manufacture of our bespoke machinery solutions. Because we have in-house fabrication and a fully equipped toolroom, we produce most subsystems internally. This reduces our reliance on third-party suppliers, allowing us to maintain complete control over quality and delivery times.
We proudly support UK businesses from within the UK. This approach ensures that our customers receive the best possible after-sales and technical support once the equipment is up and running.
Every machine undergoes thorough testing before it leaves our facility. We are also happy to invite our customers to our facility for machine testing and sign-off, as well as both operator and maintenance training.
You can be confident that every machine we produce meets all relevant safety and industry-specific regulations.
