What Tekman does

Tekman India Pvt. Ltd. is a privately held, founder-led engineering company specializing in custom-built vacuum engineering solutions for Indian industrial customers. The company's product portfolio spans three core technology areas: (1) vacuum pumping systems including dry screw, liquid ring, rotary vane, rotary piston, claw, mechanical booster, and oil diffusion pumps plus custom turnkey pumping systems and accessories; (2) helium-based leak detection and testing systems, helium recovery systems, and helium leak detectors (models LDS2010 and LDS3000) with sensitivity down to 10^-12 mbar·l/s and cycle times as low as 15 seconds; and (3) vacuum furnaces for high-precision heat treatment up to 1,300°C. Notable proprietary technology includes a patented variable pitch screw dry pump delivering up to 30% lower power consumption versus comparable dry screw pumps, and a helium recovery system achieving up to 99% recovery with sub-6-month ROI. Tekman integrates Inficon (Germany) leak detection instrumentation and is the Indian distribution partner for Shinko Seiki (Japan), MILS (France), Glotech (Korea), and VPS (Korea), giving the company a multi-vendor product umbrella for industrial vacuum and leak testing applications.

The company operates a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting large industrial clients, supported by a PAN-India resident service engineer network across four zones (Western, North, Gujarat/MP, South) and a manufacturing facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with corporate headquarters in Thane, Maharashtra. Revenue is generated through (a) capital equipment sales of custom-engineered systems, (b) recurring aftermarket services including Annual Maintenance Contracts, on-site helium leak testing, calibration, refurbishment, and spares, and (c) channel-based distribution of partner products. Customers are concentrated in electrical equipment manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, refrigeration and air conditioning, automotive, aerospace, and general engineering — with named enterprise accounts including Siemens Ltd, HCL, Blue Star, CG Power, Crompton Greaves, Lupin, Sun Pharma, Alembic, Zydus Cadila, Godrej, and Voltamp Transformers. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and is co-founded and led by Sunil Joshi (Managing Director) and Prasad Jagtap (Co-Founder & Director), each with 25-30+ years of vacuum technology experience. The business remains privately held with no external institutional funding identified.
