We solve contamination problems in high-end industrial processes. Our mission and overarching goal is to help our customers achieve defect-free, resource efficient, smart manufacturing operations, using cleaning technology that solves complex contamination and process challenges in their specific application. How do we do this? It began with a method we pioneered called ‘Contact Cleaning’, that effectively and reliably picks up loose particles and contaminations, ranging from sub-micron size particles up to a size of 5mm and above (including dust, metal, glass-fibres, human hair and skin). Our method solves a problem known as ‘unattached contamination’ which causes defects in a range of highend industrial processes, like EV Battery manufacture and PCB assembly. In simple terms, our method uses an elastomer cleaning roller to pick up contaminating particles, and securely capture them on an adhesive surface. This means fewer defects in manufacturing processes, reduction in waste, maximised resource efficiency and improved yields. Today, Teknek is part of ITW Inc. We’re the world leader in sheet and web cleaning, backed by a $15bn business.
