While TecQuipment dominates the UK engineering educational equipment market particularly in the Midlands, the growth in sales accounting for 85% of the company’s revenue comes from outside the UK.
TecQuipment began exporting in the 1960s on a small limited scale, beginning with an order to the University of Notre Dame. Over the subsequent three decades, the company gradually grew its international sales through identifying growth markets and recruiting an agent network to effectively penetrate these. Over the years the Middle East and ‘Asian Tiger’ countries in particular have been very fruitful markets, and continue to thrive along with the likes of North America and Europe. In addition, the last two decades have seen further expansion by consolidating the company’s position in the mentioned markets, and by actively servicing the next phase of emerging economies.
“We’re an engineering company through and through and work hard to retain our designed and manufactured all under one roof credentials. At the same time integrating with the global education market, building solid reliable agents to represent us around the world, managed by a multilingual crack team of Regional Account Managers providing support and a direct feedback loop back to the business allows us to continue to grow and respond to the global market’s needs.” Commented Simon Woods, Managing Director of TecQuipment.
