Teca-Print is founded as Tecalcos and quickly establishes itself on the market with pad printing machines and accessories.

The « Tecalcos 120 » is the first pad printing machine to be produced in Thayngen.

Due to the great success on the market, the construction of an own manufacturing and office building becomes necessary.

The name Tecalcos is changed to Teca-Print AG.

In the 1980s, cooperation with sales partners is established worldwide.
Subsidiaries are founded in France and the USA, soon followed by Germany and Hungary.

The building is expanded and still acts as the company’s headquarters today.

Development of the FLG 100 flame treatment unit, which utilizes propane gas to generate the flame.
