About company TENA EDM

TENA EDM is a Czech trading company engaged in mechanical engineering. We offer both one-off and series production – managing everything from material procurement, machining, heat treatment, and surface finishing to delivery to the customer. 

The company was originally established as a tool shop project focused on comprehensive tool production for the automotive industry. In response to market developments, internal changes, and a new vision, this focus has shifted. Since 2023, we have primarily concentrated on producing components for the defense, medical, and railway industries.

We are gradually refining our business system by integrating modern automation and AI technologies. At the same time, we have expanded our quality certifications and, following a successful transformation of the original project, we are continuously adding the necessary production technologies.

We approach our work with a high level of commitment, which is reflected not only in the products we deliver but also in our modern infrastructure with regular maintenance, a fully air-conditioned hall, and ongoing development of our business and production system.

TENA EDM - ISO 9001
Our goal is to meet customer needs and deliver the required work on time and in the appropriate quality, while maintaining a WIN-WIN balance for both parties.

A word from the co-owner

I entered the engineering sector as one of the investors supporting the idea and efforts of a group of engineers who wanted to become independent. However, starting a business is never easy – it requires immense patience, commitment, and the ability to handle very uncomfortable situations. Unfortunately, these ventures often lead to a "sobering" realization, where difficult times reveal who is truly capable of embracing entrepreneurship in its full complexity. 

In 2023, together with our other investors, we took steps to collectively overcome a number of obstacles and transform the vision and direction of the company. It was not easy, but thanks to determination and patience, we successfully went through this process and today we can say that it was the right decision.

Our primary aim is to do things differently from conventional practices. In many ways, we operate in an unconventional manner and are not afraid to pursue ideas that may seem difficult at first glance. In line with this distinct approach, we carefully and thoughtfully select our collaborators and partners. We incorporate modern elements into our work, such as the use of AI and the agency-based automation of routine processes. Our vision is to connect, via our system, both our own and local or remote production facilities – potentially also through ownership integration. 

We want to create a business and manufacturing system that eliminates inefficient processes and their associated costs, accelerates customer response times, and meets modern production demands.
The vision and the path to its realization are not simple, but we firmly believe we are capable of achieving it. Our ambition is to contribute to restoring Czech engineering to a leading position.

Certification

TENA EDM - ISO 9001The company is certified according to the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001

The introduction of a quality management system according to the ISO 9001 standard was the next inevitable step in our company. The ISO 9001 standard is based on a simple principle, where the company's management sets its goals and plans in the area of the quality of its production and then implements them gradually using set processes. The effectiveness of the processes is measured and monitored so that the company can take effective measures and changes. Furthermore, the standard deals with the principles of management of documentation, human resources, infrastructure, introduces processes of communication with customers, evaluation of suppliers, measurement of process performance, as well as internal audits for the purpose of obtaining feedback. For us, this certificate is not just a matter of paper, the defined rules are put into practice.

ISO 14001 is an international standard aimed at managing the environmental impact of companies. It helps organizations reduce emissions, waste, energy consumption and ensures compliance with environmental legislation. Implementing a system according to ISO 14001 increases the credibility of the company and supports sustainable development. The result is more efficient operations and a smaller burden on the environment.

ISO 45001 is an international standard for an occupational health and safety (OHS) management system. Its aim is to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses and to create a safe working environment. It helps companies manage risks, meet legal requirements and increase employee protection. By implementing ISO 45001, a company demonstrates a responsible approach to occupational safety.

Individual production audit

In addition to the ISO 9001 certification audit, we also work within the framework of customer requirements to fulfill and satisfy the requirements for their individual audit. This often differs from ISO standardization and some areas are much more researched and evaluated by different criteria. As part of meeting these limits, we are constantly working to be able to meet them and adapt them to the requirements of our business partners.
