Tek Supply

What Tek Supply does

Tek Supply inc is a privately held, US-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer specializing in Allen Bradley industrial automation components. The company operates a Shopify storefront at tek-supply.com and sells programmable logic controllers (Controllogix, Compactlogix, Micrologix, SLC 500 families), Allen Bradley Panelview human-machine interface (HMI) displays and replacement backlights, Powerflex variable frequency drives, and I/O modules, offered in both brand-new and remanufactured conditions. It has also added Schneider Electric's Modicon line and PLC Analyzer Pro 6 Autem diagnostic software to its catalog, signaling modest diversification beyond a single OEM.

The company's business model is built on two revenue streams: hardware sales of automation components at competitive, quote-based pricing, and repair services for Allen Bradley PLCs, drives, and Panelview displays. Distribution is exclusively through its own online storefront with no third-party resellers; customers search the catalog, purchase directly, or use live chat and "Request a Quote" workflows for parts not listed. The GTM motion targets three primary segments — automation professionals, manufacturing industries, and electrical engineers — addressing use cases such as PLC replacement and upgrades, drive maintenance, HMI backlight replacement, and legacy system support.

Tek Supply has no disclosed funding, no published management team, no partnerships, and no certifications in the input data. The website copyright indicates 2026 activity and a contact number with an Illinois area code, consistent with ongoing operations as a small, niche aftermarket distributor. There is no evidence of AI/ML capability, proprietary platform technology beyond the standard Shopify stack, or international operations; geographic scope appears domestic (US) and the product offering is concentrated within a single OEM ecosystem (Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley line).

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Major industrial automation and robotics vendor with a broad PLC and drive portfolio. Comparable to Tek Supply as a competing OEM whose authorized distribution and direct channels shape the demand environment for independent automation parts resellers.
• Siemens: Global industrial automation manufacturer (SIMATIC controllers, SINAMICS drives). Comparable to Tek Supply as a competing OEM whose automation platforms overlap with Allen Bradley in the same end-customer facilities, particularly relevant as a potential catalog expansion path.
• Kaman Automation: Broader industrial automation distributor offering Allen Bradley, motors, sensors, and motion control products. Comparable to Tek Supply as a competing distribution channel for the same Allen Bradley customer base, but with a wider product portfolio and scale.
• Schneider Electric: Global industrial automation and electrical equipment manufacturer whose Modicon line is already carried by Tek Supply. Comparable because Schneider competes for the same control-system wallet and could expand direct e-commerce to undercut independent resellers.
• Mitsubishi Electric Automation: Manufacturer of PLCs, HMIs, and drives commonly found alongside Allen Bradley equipment in North American factories. Comparable to Tek Supply as a competing automation OEM whose installed base and authorized distributors influence pricing and demand for legacy parts.
• Grainger: Large-scale MRO distributor with a significant industrial automation and electronics category, including Allen Bradley components. Comparable to Tek Supply as an alternative fulfillment channel for the same US maintenance and repair buyer, though Grainger is far broader in scope.
• Rockwell Automation: The OEM manufacturer of Allen Bradley PLCs, drives, and Panelviews. Comparable to Tek Supply as the brand being resold and the dominant authorized channel; competitive overlap arises when Rockwell's direct sales or authorized distributors compete for the same Allen Bradley demand.

Direct peers

• AX Control: Specialist distributor of Allen Bradley and Rockwell Automation parts, including new, remanufactured, and repair services. Highly comparable to Tek Supply given the overlapping Allen Bradley focus and combined product-plus-repair service model.
• Radwell International: Distributor of new, used, and remanufactured industrial automation and control components, including PLCs, drives, and HMIs. Closely comparable to Tek Supply because it serves the same MRO-driven customer base with a multi-brand catalog and similar refurbished-supply model.
• Wolf Automation: Distributor of Allen Bradley and other industrial automation components, including PLCs, drives, and motor controls. Comparable to Tek Supply because it targets the same automation professional and manufacturing customer base with direct e-commerce sales.
