Business Activities
Since 1990, Tekna developed considerable experience in fundamental and applied research and thermal plasma technology development, and rapidly joined the ranks of world leaders in this field. By focusing efforts on the design and scaling up of induction plasma sources and integrated plasma systems, Tekna is able to offer unique capabilities for the industrial use of this new technology in a wide range of applications for powder processing, nanopowder synthesis, plasma spraying and near net shape deposition.
Tekna has delivered more than 80 systems worldwide over four continents. We work actively with academic and industrial partners all around the world. We also have highly qualified agents in China, Japan, Korea and Singapore.
Tekna's business policy is strongly client-oriented. As demonstrated in the accompanying flowchart, we offer our clients all the options they need for their particular goals. Our clients approach us for either specific equipment needs or integrated process needs. In the latter case, if the client's needs can be met using a standard process, such as powder spheroidization or plasma spraying of a standard material, we offer them in-house demonstration tests for process evaluation. This can be followed by either commercial production at Tekna facilities or the sale/lease of the necessary equipment for production at the client's facility. In the event that the client's needs cannot be met using a standard process, Tekna is also willing to undertake the necessary process development work in close collaboration with the client in order to achieve their project objectives in the most effective and economical way.
