Teknek opens two Asian offices to lead expansion

Teknek, which makes specialist cleaning equipment for global manufacturers, has opened offices in South Korea and Shanghai as part of a major expansion of its operations in Asia.

The firm, which has its headquarters at Inchinnan, near Glasgow, said it was seeing "unprecedented demand" for its products in the region.

As well as the additional offices, Teknek is also investing in expanding capacity at its Hong Kong production facility, growing the Taiwan-based sales team and moving its Asia Pacific headquarters from Yokohama, Japan to Shanghai.

Managing director Stephen Mitchell said: "This is one of the largest and most ambitious expansion plans ever undertaken in Teknek's 25 year history."

Its machines are used by customers in sectors including electronics and printing to eliminate contamination.
