What TEGOMETALL does

Tegometall is a privately held, family-owned European manufacturer of modular steel shelving and racking systems, headquartered in Lengwil (Switzerland) with administrative headquarters in Konstanz (Germany) and the Tegometall brand tracing to 1968, though the predecessor company was founded by Rudolf Bohnacker in 1954. The company designs, produces, and distributes a unified shelving platform — TegoClassic, TegoStrong, TegoRaster/TegoRaster 25, TegoTwo-in-One, the TegoStock heavy-duty racking line, industry-specific variants (TegoBakery, TegoFruit&Veg, TegoWine, TegoClothes), and the DecoCoat sublimation-printing finish — engineered for backward compatibility so that customers can expand or reconfigure installed systems without full replacement. Manufacturing is concentrated in European facilities across Germany (Krauchenwies, Sauldorf, Munderkingen), Switzerland (Lengwil), Slovenia (Šentjur), Poland (Pniewy), France (Forbach), and the UK (Grantham), with ~100,000 m² of production area processing roughly 105,000 tonnes of steel annually through automated punching, profiling, wire processing, powder coating (including PFAS-free coatings launched at EuroShop 2026), sublimation printing, and electroplating lines; the ~2003 Kunshan, China factory is no longer listed in current operations.

Tegometall serves two principal verticals: retail shop fitting (food retail, DIY, fashion/textile, hypermarkets, bakery, produce, wine, pharmacy) and warehouse/intralogistics, selling into both large national chains and via a network of ~70 trade partners across 100+ countries. Products are sold on a B2B project-quote basis through owned sales subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia, the UK, Poland, and France, complemented by trade-fair presence at EuroShop and LogiMAT and services including 3D planning, professional assembly, certified rack inspection under DIN EN 15635, and training delivered from a dedicated Krauchenwies training center.

The business makes money primarily through hardware sales (modular shelving and racking systems, plus the DecoCoat finishing module) on a project-priced, request-for-quote basis, with a recurring revenue layer from inspection, training, and after-sales services, and indirect exposure to replacement/expansion demand from its installed base. Operating certifications include ISO 9001, EN 1090, and the GS Mark, and the company has been recognized in the German B2B Award as a leading shopfitting player on customer satisfaction and price-performance in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026. The company is majority-owned and governed by the Bohnacker family, currently in its second and third generations, with Dr. Arndt Lüdtke and Ulrich Bohnacker as Managing Directors of Tegometall International Sales GmbH.
