The ‘Help’ panel is comprised of some of the most senior members of the company with a combined experience of some 125 years and some millions of air miles travelled visiting manufacturing facilities around the globe.
As a team, we have worked closely with manufacturers to improve their yields, retrofit Contact Cleaning equipment and generally trouble shoot issues arising from processing of sheets and webs.
Some of the markets we are serving are:
Printed Circuit board (bare board)/ printed circuit board assembly
Laminate manufacture
Foil manufacture
Glass
Flat Panel Displays (LCD, Plasma etc)
Graphics-screen printing, high speed presses
Printing – Narrow Web
Printing – wide web
Coating and laminating
Our aim is to provide a confidential and proactive response to customer questions - if we don’t already have an answer we will endeavour to find someone who does!
You will likely find answers to many questions you may have in the FAQ’s listed on this page however we are open to questions on any subject related to manufacturing in general.
You are free to send your questions to the help line-or direct them to a particular member of the panel, simply click on the photo and email your question directly.
Lastly, if you have any comments about Teknek products, service or suggestions for us we will be pleased to hear from you - we value your opinion.
