From humble beginnings in a home kitchen, Tecan’s pioneering photo chemical machining (etching) processes were developed in response to the growing demand for fine-featured, flat profile precision metal parts. This resulted as an off-shoot from the manufacture of printed circuit boards supplying the naval fleet based on the South Coast of the UK and became the start of a rich history which has spanned more than 50 years.
Our innovative, photolithography-based capability also includes precision component forming and high-quality metal finishing. Now a part of the global Muon organisation, Tecan has seen significant investment in plant and technology over the past few years - strengthening its position as one of the World’s leading precision etching experts.
