Technology & Products
Key Products
Build-to-print contract manufacturing; build-to-spec machine development from concept to production-ready machine; product lifecycle management (spare parts, service, upgrades, redesigns); factory automation (robotics, material handling, assembly automation, testing and inspection systems).
Technological Advantage
More than 23 years of special-purpose machine building, working to nanometre and sub-micron tolerances. About 165 specialists cover engineering, procurement and assembly, and the company provides lifecycle support for the machines it builds.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Tech Group runs the full build of complex machines from one EU-based facility in Tallinn. It covers analysis and design, purchasing, production, assembly, testing, logistics and lifecycle support, so equipment makers can scale from prototype to production without building their own factory. Customers keep their IP under NDA.
How They Differentiate
Tech Group focuses on high-precision special-purpose machines with integrated engineering and lifecycle support. Most regional subcontractors focus on general metalworking or component manufacturing.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Startups, scale-ups and established OEMs that need precision machines built. Focus sectors are semiconductors, photonics, laboratory and life sciences, additive manufacturing (3D nano-printing, precision dispensing, printed electronics) and test and measurement.
Industry Verticals
