What Tedd Engineering does

Tedd Engineering Limited designs and manufactures bespoke electronic control systems for heavy machinery, primarily serving OEM manufacturers across quarrying, construction, agriculture, marine, and commercial vehicle industries. The core offering is an integrated hardware portfolio—custom control panels (with optional display units), in-house designed I/O modules serving as the processing 'brains' of each system, machine-specific wiring looms, and remote handsets—alongside custom HMI software. All hardware is designed in-house and manufactured at the company's two UK facilities in Chesterfield, England and Toomebridge, Northern Ireland. Built on top of this hardware base is TeddTelematics, a cloud-connected remote monitoring service that uses cellular modems integrated into control panels to transmit operational data to a cloud database, delivered to end customers as the 365SiteConnex platform co-branded with McCloskey International.

The company generates revenue through three streams: project-based custom hardware manufacturing for OEMs (one-time sales of bespoke control systems), engineering services covering design consultation, prototyping, and software development, and a recurring monthly subscription telematics service priced at £35 per machine per month (£26 promotional in 2026) via Stripe-powered billing. The 365SiteConnex telematics platform is bundled as standard on new machines from MPP Global companies (McCloskey International, Tesab, Lippmann, McCloskey Environmental) for two years, with subscription required thereafter, while MPP Aftermarket distributes retrofit modem kits for older machines. Go-to-market is primarily OEM-embedded through the MPP Global channel, supplemented by direct engineering-led sales to enterprise end-users and a small dealer network.

Founded in 1983 by Frank Tedd as a classic-car wiring loom maker and refocused onto large-scale machinery under subsequent ownership in 1992, the company merged with Inspire Designs in 2007, moved to its current Chesterfield home in 2012, opened a Northern Ireland facility in 2018, and was acquired by Metso in 2023, now operating as a standalone business unit within the MPP Global group. Named customers include Sandvik, Astec, Bomford Turner, Selwood, and the McCloskey/Tesab/Lippmann/McCloskey Environmental group; the company holds ISO 9001 certification.

Core offering

Tedd Engineering designs, manufactures, and supplies bespoke electronic control systems for heavy machinery OEMs, including control panels, display units, I/O modules, wiring looms, and remote handsets. The company also delivers complementary telematics services (TeddTelematics and 365SiteConnex) that enable remote monitoring and site connectivity for deployed equipment.

Product overview

Tedd Engineering offers a modular, integrated portfolio of bespoke electronic control systems for heavy machinery. The core offering consists of Control Panels (custom enclosures with optional display units), IO Modules (the processing 'brains'), and Wiring Looms—all designed together as a unified system. Remote Handsets provide external control capability. Built on top of these hardware products is TeddTelematics, a cloud-connected telematics platform that transmits machine data via cellular modem. The telematics offering is delivered through 365SiteConnex, a co-branded product with McCloskey International that provides fleet monitoring, geo-fencing, and servicing alerts exclusively for MPP Global machine brands. The company also provides comprehensive engineering services including design consultation, system design, product development, bespoke software solutions, and UK-based manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• B&R Industrial Automation (ABB): B&R, part of ABB, offers PLCs, I/O, motion control, and HMI platforms used across industrial machinery including heavy equipment. A larger, broader incumbent whose controller and HMI portfolio overlaps parts of Tedd's bespoke control-panel stack.
• Metso: Metso is the parent company of Tedd Engineering and a leading crushing and screening OEM. It is relevant as a strategic owner/distributor that could route Tedd's controls and telematics into a far larger installed base of mining and aggregates machines globally.
• WAGO: WAGO manufactures programmable controllers, I/O systems, and interface electronics used in industrial machinery and harsh-environment applications. Comparable to Tedd on the I/O and control hardware layer, though WAGO is far larger and more general-purpose.
• Phoenix Contact: Phoenix Contact provides industrial controllers, I/O systems, and connectivity used in machine building and heavy machinery. A broader incumbent whose control and wiring-connection products compete with parts of Tedd's offering.
• Komatsu (Smart Construction): Komatsu is a major heavy machinery OEM with its own telematics and machine control platforms (KOMTRAX, Smart Construction). Relevant as a benchmark for how vertically integrated OEMs package control systems and telematics — competitive context for Tedd's OEM-embedded model.

Direct peers

• Bosch Rexroth (Mobile Hydraulics): Bosch Rexroth supplies electronic control units, I/O, and operator interfaces for mobile machinery, including off-highway and construction equipment. Comparable to Tedd in delivering OEM-embedded control electronics plus software for heavy machinery.
• Danfoss Power Solutions: Danfoss Power Solutions provides electronic controllers, I/O modules, joysticks, and telematics for mobile off-highway machinery including construction, agriculture, and material handling — directly overlapping Tedd's control-panel-plus-IO offering for heavy equipment OEMs.
• ifm electronic: ifm electronic manufactures industrial sensors, I/O modules, and control/connectivity products used heavily in mobile and heavy machinery applications. Comparable to Tedd on the IO module and wiring harness integration side for harsh-environment industrial equipment.
• MOBA Mobile Automation: Germany-based MOBA designs and manufactures electronic control systems, sensors, and machine automation solutions for construction, quarrying, and mobile machinery OEMs — the most direct like-for-like peer to Tedd Engineering in terms of product, customer base, and application niche.

Emerging players

• Siriusxtra / OEM Group telematics providers (Proemion, Webfleet/Worksho): Proemion is a telematics and IoT platform vendor specifically serving industrial machinery OEMs and fleets. Comparable to the 365SiteConnex/TeddTelematics offering, with broader cross-OEM applicability than Tedd's MPP-Global-exclusive rollout.
