What TEM Čatež does

TEM Čatež d.o.o. is a Slovenian manufacturer of electrical installation products, principally switches and sockets, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Velika Loka. The company operates a single manufacturing facility and a full management team covering R&D, purchasing, logistics, sales, and finance, with 51-100 employees. Its core technology is the MODUL universal modular platform: a shared mounting system on which interchangeable design lines (Line, Soft, Pure, Edge, and the newly launched Thin) and functional elements (switches, sockets, USB chargers, sensors, timers, fingerprint readers, antibacterial variants, floor boxes) can be combined across multiple visual finishes and IP protection ratings (IP20, IP44, IP55). The product portfolio spans three families — MODUL (premium design), LOGIQ (classic), and EKONOMIK (economy) — plus complementary solutions such as Fontana surface-mounted products, trunking systems, and a BIM library compatible with Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft DDSCAD.

TEM Čatež generates revenue through hardware sales of switches, sockets, and related electrical installation components, distributed via a multi-tier channel: country-specific regional distributors serve DIY chains, specialized electrical installation stores, and electrical installers across 30+ countries spanning Southeastern, Central, Eastern, Southern, and Northern Europe, with new market entry into the Middle East via a Jordanian distributor in 2026. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by channel and market. Customer end-usage spans hospitality (luxury and resort hotels), commercial office buildings, residential, public institutions, sports facilities, mobile homes, and yachts, supported by design and quality certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SQ, EQTM, Slovenian Design Award 2024, and Red Dot Design Award 2025.
