TEKA participates in the research project "Intelligent Filter Monitoring". The project partners are Electronic Design Chemnitz, Turck duotec and X-Fab Semiconductor Foundries. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

The Airtracker from TEKA celebrates its successful premiere at EuroBlech. The room air monitoring device with multi-sensor technology automatically monitors and controls parameters such as fine dust pollution, humidity and noise levels in industrial operations
TEKA joins the Industry Business Network (IBN) 4.0 and actively participates in the association's work with the Airtracker. The IBN has set itself the goal of implementing Industry 4.0 with concrete added value, especially for medium-sized companies

TEKA presents its further developments to the Airtracker family at Schweißen & Schneiden. The Airtracker Mini and Airtracker Nano show the way to optimised clean air monitoring for extraction systems and air monitoring in the field of air conditioning and building management.

The third product generation of the Airtracker Pro has been optimised for Industry 4.0. It is now able to enter into dialogue with production machines.
TEKA is repositioning itself on the market for torch extraction with the VAC series. Due to its high pressure, it is predestined for continuous use in the high vacuum range. It is primarily suitable for the torch-integrated capture of fumes at welding workstations.
TEKA establishes new headquarters for sales and marketing in Weseke

TEKA relocates its headquarters to Coesfeld. The new site covers an area of 46,000 m² with 12,000 m² of hall space.
Contribution to combating the pandemic: TEKA develops the VIROLINE series, which inactivates viruses, bacteria and fungi and thus minimises the risk of infection with Covid-19.

New development no.1: With the AirCube, TEKA develops its most intelligent, sustainable, efficient and smartest filter system.
New development no. 2: The highly efficient EXCube extraction and filter system effectively separates all explosive dusts of dust explosion class St 1.
