What each side does: Tecflo, based in Little Hulton, Manchester, makes fob detectors, keg couplers, taps, fonts, regulators and cask equipment from a 9,400 sq ft factory. Teqnion is a Nasdaq First North-listed group that buys niche, cash-generative businesses and runs them decentralised.
By the numbers: Founded in 1986 by Geoffrey and Elaine Wood, Tecflo has about 20 employees and over 100 active clients, some of them blue-chip firms with 30-year relationships. It has averaged roughly £4.5 million in annual revenue over the past three years with what Teqnion calls robust margins.
What changes? Managing director Geoffrey Wood stays on to support the transition, and the business joins Teqnion West. Teqnion does not expect a significant effect on its 2026 fiscal year financials.
Why it fits: "Skilled people, own-brand products, blue-chip clients and stable profitability: Tecflo is a fantastic addition to Teqnion," said Daniel Zhang, Teqnion's chief experience officer. Wood framed the sale as finding "the right owner, for the sake of the business and everyone in it."
