Tipteh

What Tipteh does

Tipteh d.o.o. is a Slovenia-headquartered industrial automation distributor and technical solutions provider founded in 1996, operating as an authorized Distribution Sales Representative for 35+ global manufacturers across Southeast Europe. The company maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries in five countries — Slovenia (Ljubljana HQ), Serbia (Belgrade), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo), North Macedonia (Skopje), and Croatia (Zagreb) — with a website localized in 8 language variants including Albanian, and serves a stated base of 14,000+ customers.

Its core offering is a broad industrial-automation portfolio grouped across sensors (fork, optical, proximity, position, high-precision, process, and special sensors), machine safety (AS-Interface, electromechanical and optoelectronic safety equipment, signal processing), identification and logistics equipment (barcode/2D readers, RFID, optical positioners), machine vision (industrial cameras, vision sensors, deep learning–capable systems), motor drives, PLC controllers with fieldbus I/O modules, industrial PCs and Ethernet networking, EX/ATEX-rated equipment, switchgear and control equipment, industrial IoT devices (AR smart glasses, cloud gateways), and supporting accessories including cables, connectors, power supplies, and signalling devices. The portfolio covers key Industry 4.0 protocols (IO-Link, MQTT, OPC UA). Tipteh does not manufacture these products; it distributes, integrates, and provides application-engineering support for them.

The business model is B2B hardware distribution combined with technical consultation. Revenue is generated through wholesale and project-based sales of third-party automation components, accessed via a direct sales engineering team, a B2B e-commerce storefront (b2b.tipteh.com), and local subsidiaries across the region. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The target customer base is industrial manufacturers across verticals including automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging, and general manufacturing, with stated focus on demanding automation applications such as machine vision, motion control, robotics, intralogistics, and predictive maintenance. CEO Damijan Jager has led the company through this multi-country expansion; the company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional ownership.
