Teconnex
On the shop floor, AI-enabled vision systems are helping Teconnex improve inspection processes by learning from product variations and manufacturing data. The expertise developed internally is also creating new avenues beyond its own facilities.“ We’ ve already completed our first feasibility study for an external company. The project was successful and could lead to offering those services more broadly as capacity becomes available.”
The company’ s willingness to pursue new prospects extends even further through Teconnex Power, a business focused on industrial-scale battery energy storage systems. Developed from an earlier partnership, the venture has already produced and tested its first systems. It is now entering the customer engagement stage.“ Where it leads remains to be seen, but we’ re excited by what’ s ahead.” Those initiatives sit alongside Vision30, the group’ s latest five-year strategy. The plan aims to raise Teconnex revenue from £ 100 million to £ 130 million while expanding aerospace and bellows operations into significant businesses.
For Chris, the targets are less about size than ensuring the company continues to evolve alongside its customers.“ One of our defining characteristics is our willingness to be wherever our customers need us. If that means building a new site to support them, we’ ll do it.”
As Teconnex balances its emissions technology heritage with investments in aerospace, automation, energy storage, and employee ownership, the focus remains on creating new pathways for whatever comes next. Chris concludes,“ The combination of performance and purpose is what Teconnex wants to be known for, both today and in the years ahead.” ■
