Teknion

Teknion has over the past several years grown at a rate far exceeding our major competitors and the industry in general. In fact, in the last quarter of 2000, United States sales were up more than 70 percent-a rate greater than the industry's top five competitors combined. How does Teknion do it? Teknion listens to clients-many of whom are immersed in competitive arenas where speed to market and innovative products are requirements for longevity. Teknion attributes its success to these core competitive strengths:

• Entrepreneurial attitude and de-centralized decision-making, as well as vertical integration of operations from design through manufacturing and distribution.
• Design excellence and innovations.
• Ability to respond to industry trends with intelligently conceived client-focused products and enhancements that offer real-world solutions.
• Extensive and expanding worldwide sales and service structure.
• Commitment to building long-term relationships.
• Advanced technologies and systems that improve business processes and increase value-added services.
• Commitment to invest in our people with training programs and opportunities for personal and professional growth

Teknion weaves together product design, management, marketing, engineering, procurement and manufacturing to cut cycle time in half. Vertical integration is critical to their ability to respond. Manufacturing facilities produce all the products Teknion sells. Vertical integration also helps customize products; even create new designs to satisfy specific needs-all with an eye toward uniform quality and cost control.
