About Re:Build Manufacturing and Re:Build Tekna:

Tekna was founded in 1988 in the heart of Southwest Michigan where creative vision and hard work laid the foundation for a business that continues to grow in a rapidly evolving industry. The rigor and attention to detail that comes with designing for the medical industry has awarded us success in supporting both major companies and start-ups from early-stage development to commercialization. The same principles apply as we’ve expanded to serve customers in a wide variety of other industries, including consumer and industrial goods, electronics, and appliances. Tekna’s project portfolio is incredibly diverse, covering medical, life science, consumer, and industrial product categories. Tekna is largely client-focused, offering design consulting, contract manufacturing, and original equipment manufacturing services. Tekna’s cross-functional teams include Design Engineering, Industrial Design, CAD, Procurement, Production, and Quality, which offers a friendly and supportive team atmosphere.
