What Tkstar Technology Co. does

TKSTAR Technology Co., Limited is a Shenzhen, China-based private company founded in 2010 that designs and manufactures GPS tracking hardware and an associated cloud-based tracking platform. The product portfolio spans vehicle trackers (including 4G TK905, TK910, TK920, TK820, and the plug-and-play TK980 OBD2 model), a motorcycle/bike tracker, the TK800 asset tracker, a portable pocket-sized tracker, a pet tracker, and a Bluetooth/GPS-based FindMy Tag for personal items. The hardware connects to the TKSTAR Tracking System, a server-side platform paired with Android and iOS mobile applications, and is also compatible with third-party platforms including GPS-TRACE, GPSWOX, Traccar, Gurtam, and Infinititracking via an Open API. TKSTAR also provides OEM/ODM customized GPS tracking solutions, suggesting B2B and government business alongside retail.

The company serves three customer segments: individual consumers (personal and family/pet safety), business enterprises (fleet management, asset monitoring, workforce tracking), and government agencies (enforcement and public safety programs such as quarantine monitoring). Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through the company's own e-commerce storefronts (tk-star.com, shop.tk-star.com), supplemented by international resellers, online marketplace listings, and integrations with third-party tracking platforms. Marketing spans a multi-language website (German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian) plus social channels on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of GPS tracker devices and customized solutions services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are available. The company holds ROHS and CE certifications supporting sales into the European Economic Area and operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company. With 11-50 employees at a single headquarters and manufacturing facility in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, TKSTAR operates as a small, lean hardware OEM/ODM in a competitive global GPS tracking market.
