Teknis

What Teknis does

Teknis is a UK-based specialist supplier of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection products, services, and complete Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA) solutions for industrial manufacturers. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Meldreth, Cambridgeshire, the privately held Teknis Limited (company registration 00854100) serves electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, data centres, automotive, medical device, aerospace and defence, and pharmaceutical facilities. Teknis operates a hybrid e-commerce plus field-sales model, supported by specialist installation crews, ESDA-qualified technicians, and an audited supply chain registered on JOSCAR for defence and aerospace buyers.

The product portfolio spans eight primary categories — packaging and materials handling, personnel grounding, EPA products (stationery, bench matting, signage, grounding and bonding, brushes and tools), ESD furniture, cleaning and maintenance, ionisation, test and measurement, and ESD flooring — distributed either as Teknis-branded lines (e.g., Tekstat conductive shipping boxes) or via exclusive and core-supplier UK partnerships with WEZ (Faraday-cage conductive containers and PCB racks), Sievi (ESD safety shoes), Treston (modular ESD workstations), Forbo (Colorex and Sphera ESD vinyl flooring), and Dr. Schutz (polyurethane ESD floor renovation coatings). All products are certified to BS EN 61340-5-1:2024 and ANSI/ESD S20.20; the company is ISO 9001:2015 accredited and achieved Cyber Essentials certification in 2026.

Commercially, Teknis monetises through unit-priced hardware sales (range £1 to over £2,000 per item), professional services (auditing, training, consultancy), installation projects (ESD flooring with free site surveys and ESDA-certified completion), and managed renovation services (the Dr. Schutz floor system, positioned at roughly half the cost of full replacement). Distribution runs through direct B2B e-commerce to UK and international customers plus a trade/dealer channel for flooring materials. Headcount is in the 11-50 range with a sales-contact phone line and both an enquiries and a sales email inbox, suggesting a small specialist team relative to the breadth of catalogue and services offered.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Bondline Electronics: UK-based specialist ESD protection products supplier offering packaging, personnel grounding, furniture, and flooring. Directly comparable product catalogue and UK customer focus as Teknis.
• Antistat: UK ESD protection specialist supplying ESD packaging, workstation products, ionisation, and test equipment. Closely overlaps Teknis's product range and customer verticals.
• Transforming Technologies: Manufacturer and supplier of static control products including ionisers, testers, and personnel grounding. Directly comparable product portfolio targeting electronics manufacturing and cleanroom customers.

Broad incumbents

• SCS (Static Control Solutions): Global leader in ESD control products and services with a much broader product line and global distribution. Competes with Teknis across packaging, workstations, and ionisation but at significantly larger scale.
• Desco Industries: US-headquartered global ESD control manufacturer (including Desco, Vermason, SCS Europe brands). Competes in the same product categories as Teknis with vertically integrated manufacturing.

Others

• Forbo Flooring Systems: Manufacturer of ESD vinyl flooring including Colorex and Sphera ranges. Functions as both a supplier to Teknis and a partial competitor for direct ESD flooring sales, particularly on larger UK projects.
• Treston: Finnish manufacturer of industrial workstations including ESD benches represented by Teknis in the UK. Adjacent supplier relationship rather than direct competitor but competes on modular EPA furniture.

Regional players

• Cleanroom World: UK cleanroom consumables and ESD equipment supplier. Overlaps with Teknis on the cleanroom customer segment with similar B2B e-commerce distribution model but broader contamination control focus.
