Vision Statement
The trucking industry is one of the biggest and most important contributors to the U.S. economy. Over 10.5 billion tons of freight is moved on trucks annually. The industry employs nearly 3.5 million professional drivers and when non-drivers are added to the mix, the total number exceeds 8.7 million. In other words, about one in every 15 workers in the U.S. is employed in the trucking business.
To the men and women who make their living in this industry, success can sometimes come down to the performance of a small part. A hose cracks, a control box fails, a pressure gauge gives a false reading and an important shipment is late. Or damaged. Or lost. Every trucker knows that quality parts make a big difference.
Tectran knows this too. For over 47 years, Tectran has served the heavy truck and trailer industry as a designer, manufacturer and marketer of air, hydraulic and electrical components and systems. Selling through an extensive network of professional parts marketers, Tectran produces high quality, U.S. made products that offer maintenance, operating, safety, and security solutions to equipment operators throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Quite simply, company keep America’s trucks moving.
Mission Statement
Trucking is a serious business. Wrangling a 500 horse power, quarter of a million-dollar tractor rig from point A to point B with a full load is not a job for the faint of heart. The hours are long, deadlines are tight, and the work is often dirty and dangerous.
It doesn’t matter whether you drive on a rural stretch of highway or a crowded expressway at rush hour, the performance of the smallest part matters. Simply put, better parts make a difference.
Company make better parts because they know lives may depend on them. A cracked hose or bad connector can quickly turn a tractor-trailer into a 40-ton missile. It’s why they design, test and manufacture every Tectran part with safety and performance in mind.
Company make better parts because each and every delivery is important to someone. Downtime due to parts failure can delay a delivery of needed parts for a manufacturing line or medicine for a critically ill patient. Failure is simply not an option.
Company make better parts because the job is already tough enough. Choosing the right OEM or replacement parts shouldn’t make life more complicated. Better parts make it easier to spec and stock with the confidence that every item will help your customers go the distance.
At Tectran, making good parts is simply not good enough, so brand are committed to making company parts better.
