TJEP

What TJEP does

TJEP is the professional fastening-tools brand operated by KYOCERA FASTENING SOLUTIONS GERMANY, a German subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate KYOCERA Corporation. Founded in 1960, TJEP designs, manufactures, and distributes pneumatic and gas-powered fastening tools - including strip, anchor, coil, brad, pin, and staple nailers - together with battery-powered binding machines (ULTRA GRIP and COMPACT TIER series), hydraulic rebar cutters, and concrete nailers, for professional tradespeople in the construction industry. The product program comprises approximately 60 pneumatic and 16 gas-powered device variants; a High Pressure (HP) line of elevated-pressure pneumatic nailers is co-manufactured with MAKITA and sold under TJEP branding, while nails for load-bearing applications carry CE marking per EN 14592 / EUROCODE 5.

The company makes money primarily through hardware sales of tools and consumables (nails, brads, staples, screws) via a dealer network that spans at least 11 European countries including the DACH region, Scandinavia, the Benelux, the UK, France, and Poland. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to dealers or the online catalog/price list viewer. Recurring revenue is supported by an aftermarket repair operation staffed by 13 technicians maintaining over 5,500 spare parts, plus compatibility with consumables from established brands (Paslode, Duo-Fast, Senco, Max, Holz-Her, Prebena). Geographic roots and brand legacy are Danish and Scandinavian - TJEP claims absolute market leadership in Denmark and positions among market leaders in Sweden and Norway - while Germany is the legal and operational headquarters for the DACH region.
