Tekemas

What Tekemas does

Tekemas A/S is a privately held Danish industrial systems integrator founded in 1974 that designs and delivers custom powder handling solutions for manufacturers in pharmaceutical, food, nutrition, chemical, and metal powder industries. The company's core technical offering combines proprietary technology — notably the PTS vacuum dense phase transport system for hygienic, contained, no-degradation powder transfer — with a curated portfolio of partner-supplied equipment (mixers, IBC systems, sieves, jet mills, dosing, containment, filling, and weighing solutions). Tekemas is positioned as a project partner rather than a catalog supplier, integrating multi-vendor equipment into turnkey lines tailored to customer-specific constraints such as short lead times, limited floor space, and difficult-to-handle products.

The business operates on a project-based revenue model with three primary streams: one-time sales of custom engineered systems, professional services for system design and process modernization, and ongoing hardware sales including spare parts and preventive maintenance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each engagement is quoted based on project scope, regulatory requirements, and process conditions. The company has delivered more than 3,000 specially designed systems worldwide and holds ISO 9001 quality management certification.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with embedded field engineering teams, supported by four offices in Denmark (Albertslund headquarters and Hørning), Sweden (Kungsbacka), and Poland (Dębica), and a network of 20+ technology partnerships with international equipment manufacturers including Amixon, Matcon, Coperion, Allgaier, FarleyGreene, IKA, Pfaudler, and Bunting. Marketing channels include a multilingual website, LinkedIn, YouTube, and published case studies. Ownership is private and independent, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
