What Teco Automotive Equipment does

Teco Automotive Equipment is an Italian manufacturer of professional automotive workshop equipment, operating as a brand within the NEXION S.p.A. group (a private Italian joint-stock company headquartered in Correggio with €10 million share capital). Founded in 1985 and based in Correggio and Prato di Correggio, Italy, the company designs and produces light and heavy tyre changers, wheel balancers, wheel alignment systems, vehicle lifts, and complementary workshop equipment (brake testers, wheel washers, rim repair systems, inflation cages, headlight aligners, A/C stations, nitrogen generators, vulcanizers). Its product portfolio spans the full wheel-service workflow and is backed by patented lever-less tyre changer technology, 4 Hi-Qi camera-based alignment systems, and dual-laser contactless balancing. The company also offers ADAS calibration and diagnostic equipment through the PROADAS software database (currently at version 26.0) and a budget-oriented StepLine sub-brand.

TECO serves professional automotive workshops, commercial vehicle service centers, and ADAS calibration facilities across more than 120 countries via an authorized distributor network, supplemented by direct sales in Italy and a dedicated Export division. The company monetizes through one-time equipment sales of capital goods with a 24-month warranty on wheel balancers, wheel aligners, and PROADAS, supported by recurring software updates and a service training infrastructure (TECO Training Academy and NEXION SERVICE App). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through distributors, with the parent NEXION S.p.A. providing corporate-level oversight and cross-brand equipment synergies.
