TECO has underlined several major milestones for the year just gone, including achieving ISO 14060 accreditation and releasing its new TECO MAXeV4 IE4 electric motor.
But firstly, in an end-of-year address, TECO Australia and New Zealand President Stuart Walker wanted to recognise the company’s employees.
“As we close out 2025, I want to begin by extending my sincere thanks to all the staff of TECO Australia & New Zealand for your incredible effort and dedication throughout 2025,” he said.
“This has been a year of consolidation and strategic progress, where we strengthened key areas of the business and prepared the organisation for the next phase of development. We introduced new technologies, took on new product challenges, and strengthened our position across Australia and New Zealand.”
Achieving ISO 14060 is recognition of TECO’s climate action and greenhouse gas reporting practices, which Walker said remains a key priority.
“TECO is deeply focused on improving our own environmental performance, as well as producing products that help our customers do the same,” he said.
“This accreditation allows us to demonstrate our progress confidently to the market and to TECO headquarters, reinforcing that we are contributing meaningfully to global sustainability goals.
“As an example, in the third quarter, we introduced the new TECO MAXeV4 IE4 electric motor to our stock range. These motors represent the next evolution of TECO engineering in Australia and New Zealand – offering our highest levels of efficiency yet, designed specifically for local conditions, using standard IEC frames for simple changeover.”
Upgrading to TECO MAXeV4 can deliver up to 7.7 per cent energy savings over an IE2 motor, and up to 4 per cent over an IE3 motor, with a typical payback period under 2–3 years.
“The TECO MAXeV4 IE4 is durable, easy to service and delivers immediate benefits without requiring a drive to perform,” Walker said. “In designing this technology, we focused on real-world customer needs: energy reduction, reliability, and fast return on investment.”
Walker highlighted how, after moving to a larger premises in Auckland last year, TECO Australia and New Zealand opened a new branch in Christchurch.
“This is the first time TECO has had a permanent presence and staff supporting our industrial and electrical customers in the South Island,” he said.
“We also invested in our Australian infrastructure, upgrading both Brisbane and Melbourne warehouses, rebuilding our workshops and relaying our warehouses.”
TECO was also voted a winner in The Australian’s Best Places To Work 2025 for medium-sized organisations.
“We achieved this recognition through responses you, our people, made to a national survey,” Walker said. “Over 82 per cent of TECO staff responded, reporting levels of overall satisfaction that were generally higher than other participating businesses.”
Looking ahead, Walker said the company had “ambitious and far-reaching” plans for 2026.
“We will enter new markets, expand our capabilities, and continue evolving our product and service offerings,” he said. “Our people will once again be challenged, stretched and empowered – and I have every confidence that, together, we will rise to every opportunity.
“The future ahead of us is exciting. I hope each of you will continue to be part of our journey as we build on our momentum and take TECO Australia & New Zealand into its next chapter.”
