Tentec

What Tentec does

Tentec operates as a bolting solutions brand within Atlas Copco UK Holdings, the UK subsidiary of the Swedish-listed Atlas Copco Group. The unit provides precision fastening and bolt tightening equipment for UK industrial customers, spanning hydraulic torque wrenches and pumps, hydraulic bolt tensioning systems (both topside CTST and subsea COMPACT-8 variants), continuous rotation electric nutrunners including the Tensor ST Revo HA, flange spreaders and nut splitters, and a Bolting Software layer for data collection and analysis. The technology stack is built around proprietary hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and cordless drive technologies, with error-proofing and quality assurance tooling providing integrated traceability for assembly lines.

The business serves a vertically diversified set of UK industrial customers, with primary emphasis on automotive manufacturing and EV assembly (including powertrain, body shop, and EV battery pack), energy (oil and gas, wind, power generation), and aerospace, with secondary exposure to heavy equipment, mining maintenance, metal fabrication, rail, and home appliances. Customer pain points addressed include high-volume precision fastening, traceability under regulatory quality regimes, heavy-duty bolting under high pressure, and ergonomic safety in repetitive high-torque tasks.

Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of tools, pumps, tensioners, accessories, and consumables; and professional services including UKAS-accredited calibration, repairs, spare parts, training, and customized project support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical for enterprise customers. The go-to-market combines direct field sales from two UK offices (Hemel Hempstead headquarters and Wolverhampton Midlands office) with a Smart Portal e-commerce platform for registered partners, complemented by a content marketing and demand-generation engine spanning the Expert Hub, Momentum Talks webinars, and industry-specific microsites.
