TEKOX

What TEKOX does

TEKOX (Técnica de Conexiones, S.A.) is a privately-held Spanish manufacturer of low-voltage electrical connection materials, headquartered at the Asturias Technology Park in Llanera, Spain. Founded in 1976, the company designs, manufactures, and sells a broad portfolio of terminal blocks, connection strips, waterproof connectors (including the IP68-rated WP68 series), quick connectors, public-lighting junction boxes, and specialized connectors for solar, PCB, transformer, and SMD lighting applications. Its core technology is electromechanical connection design backed by a wide certification footprint (CE, RoHS, VDE, ENEC 10, CSA, UL, AENOR, UL94 V0/V2) that enables sale into regulated electrical and lighting equipment markets.

The company sells primarily to three B2B segments: professional electrical installers, manufacturers of lighting and electrical equipment (OEMs), and electrical distributors and wholesalers. GTM is hybrid: an extensive domestic network of commercial representatives paired with international distributor partnerships covering Europe, the Middle East, South America, and most recently Africa. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is understood to be quote-based, varying by product line, volume, and customer relationship. Tekox also produces ETIM-coded product data, technical datasheets, and multi-language website content (Spanish, English, French) as part of its distribution enablement.

Since 2019, Tekox has executed a multi-stage Industry 4.0 programme funded by Spanish regional and national grants (IDEPA, Ministerio de Industria, Cámara de Comercio de España, NextGenerationEU), deploying computer-vision quality inspection (Poka-Yoke Digital phases 1 and 2), ML-based demand forecasting (OMEPI), and predictive procurement analytics (AUDAP). The firm is self-funded supplemented by public grant capital — no private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor participation is disclosed — and has no known M&A, divestiture, or leadership transition activity in the available record.
