What Tekt Industries does

Tekt Industries is a Melbourne-based, privately held electronics product development consultancy founded in 2009 by Matthew Adams. The company provides end-to-end services spanning concept development, product development, app and cloud development, and advanced manufacturing, all delivered from a single facility in Abbotsford, Melbourne, that combines engineering offices with a 1,200m2+ factory floor equipped for PCB assembly, 3D printing (SLA and FDM), CNC, laser cutting, and X-ray inspection. Its core technology stack covers firmware and embedded systems, industrial design, PCB electronics design, mechatronics, AI and digital signal processing for FPGA and microcontrollers, as well as mobile, desktop, and cloud software across iOS, Android, Linux, and web platforms.

The company serves a diversified client base of 18+ named customers across consumer electronics (Fliteboard, Nura, Fusion Guitars, Petminda, THIM), medical devices (Bionic Vision Technologies, Carbon Cybernetics, Loop+), industrial and IoT (Telstra, Reece Plumbing, Swoop Aero, Silentium Defence, Summit Innovations, Melbourne Zoo), and agriculture (CloudFarming, Harvest Ant), working with both startups and large enterprises. Tekt earns revenue through professional services (turnkey product development, concept and commercialisation assistance) and hardware/transactional sales (PCB assembly, 3D printing, X-ray inspection) via its 24/7 Rapid Order System. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, is an Australian Government Approved Research Service Provider, and is supported by technology partnerships with NVIDIA, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Arduino, Nordic Semiconductor, and The Things Network.
