Certified. Controlled. Fully Integrated.
TEC Industrial is a full-service precision manufacturing and finishing company offering laser cutting, press brake forming, CNC milling and turning, fabrication, laser engraving, powder coating, and certified Cerakote application — all performed in-house.
Operating from a 13,000 square foot manufacturing facility alongside a dedicated 7,500 square foot powder coating and Cerakote finishing facility, we control every stage of production from raw material to final finish.
Our Cerakote division combines trained technicians, engineered surface preparation, CNC manufacturing, laser processing, and a dedicated robotic application cell to deliver consistent film thickness, uniform coverage, and high-performance finishes across both prototype and production environments.
Cerakote at TEC is not an add-on service, it is a controlled manufacturing process integrated into a complete production workflow.
Robotic Cerakote Application
Our automated Cerakote robotics cell enhances:
• Film thickness consistency
• Coverage uniformity on complex geometries
• Repeatability across production batches
• Reduced human variability
• Scalable throughput for OEM programs
• High part count throughput
For production clients, this translates to predictable results, tighter quality control, and reduced rework risk.
Surface Preparation, Stripping & Process Control
Coating performance begins with preparation. TEC Industrial provides complete surface preparation including:
• Precision cleaning and degreasing
• Controlled blast profiles
• GreenSolv chemical stripping for coating removal and refinishing
• Detailed masking of critical surfaces and threaded features
• Cure cycles per Cerakote manufacturer specifications
• Inspection for adhesion, coverage, and finish quality
GreenSolv stripping allows safe and effective removal of existing coatings while preserving substrate integrity. This supports refinishing programs, color changes, warranty work, and production corrections without compromising base material performance. We approach finishing as an engineered process — not cosmetic paint.
Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities
Unlike stand-alone applicators, TEC Industrial manufactures components in-house prior to finishing within our 13,000 sq ft production facility.
Material Preparation
• Hyd-Mech CNC bandsaw for precision bar and structural cutting
• Scotchman upcut saw for accurate aluminum and extrusion cutting
Controlling material preparation in-house ensures consistency, reduces waste, and improves downstream machining accuracy.
Laser Cutting & Forming
• 4000W Trumpf TruLaser 2030 fiber laser (5' × 10' capacity)
• Trumpf 3100 press brake (100–110 ton, 3060mm bend length, ±0.3° accuracy)
CNC Milling & Turning
• (3) Haas VF-4SS vertical machining centers
• (2) Haas VF-3 vertical machining centers
• (1) Haas VF-6 vertical machining center
• (1) Haas ST-35Y CNC lathe with live tooling
Our mill-turn capability enables complex components to be completed in a single setup, reducing secondary operations and improving dimensional accuracy.
Manual & Prototyping Equipment
• Manual engine lathes
• Proto-Trak milling machine
This blend of CNC automation and precision manual equipment provides flexibility for prototype development, tooling, custom components, and short-run production.
Laser Engraving & Permanent Marking
• 100W MOPA fiber laser engraver with expanded X-axis
Our MOPA system supports:
• High-contrast marking on stainless steel
• Deep engraving on hardened components
• Controlled color marking on select materials
• Serialized part marking and traceability
• Logo and branding engraving
• Marking on coated or Cerakoted components
Finishing
• 7,500 sq ft dedicated powder coating and Cerakote facility
• Certified Cerakote robotic application cell
What This Means for Our Clients
Vertical integration allows TEC Industrial to:
• Control material preparation from the start
• Manufacture parts from raw material
• Machine critical tolerances and features
• Form and weld assemblies
• Prototype and refine designs
• Strip and recondition existing components
• Apply Cerakote or powder coat finishes
• Perform engraving, serialization, and branding
• Deliver complete, production-ready components
All under one roof.
