Our History
Our Background Makes Us Proud
In 1992, Javier Quesada Suescun wanted to fulfil his great ambition of being an entrepreneur and bought a small workshop manufacturing automotive tubes with 29 employees in Basque Country (Spain). This is where Teknia was born, a company marked from the outset by an international vision and which has grown thanks to its ability to adapt to customer needs and the excellence of its parts. Teknia has recorded sustained growth throughout its history and seeks to continue to do so with ambition, but always true to its origins.
Teknia's history is a story of effort, dedication and pride. We are manufacturers and we are proud to be so.
Teknia was founded in 1992 in a small family business in Zaldibar (Vizcaya), with only 29 people in a single plant dedicated to tubing. A family business that maintains its 100% family ownership intact after more than 30 years.
Today the Group employs more than 3,500 people in 23 production plants. With a presence in 13 countries, Teknia works together with leading suppliers and manufacturers around the world.
Teknia is a multi-technology partner. The company can manufacture components for almost all vehicle environments through its capabilities in tube forming, stamping, plastic injection moulding, aluminium injection moulding and machining.
Since 1992, our turnover, our workforce and our global presence have grown considerably. However, our core focus remains the same: excellence in manufacturing and production of parts and components for mobility solutions.
We are part of an industry where attention is paid to the smallest detail, a profession that demands perfect results. That is why we are constantly working to learn, create and innovate processes, to grow and be better every day.
Each of our factories has a reason, a place and a why. But our cornerstone is all those people who help us to evolve every day. And this is the value that sets us apart.
The automotive industry requires companies with a high capacity for adaptation and resilience. In a global and highly competitive market, only companies that know how to seize the opportunities will lead the mobility of the future.
We are aware of our commitment to people, but also to society as a whole and to our environment. Teknia seeks to create a better future for everyone and we want to make you part of this transformation.
Teknia is much more than a mobility partner. It is its factories, its machines, its workers, its customers.... A collection of everything that envelops it and allows it to manufacture parts that get people moving. And most important of all, we remain a family that is constantly growing.
