Fully equipped- Tees Components has expanded its engineering offering with dedicated shot blasting and industrial painting services.
This export success reinforces the company’ s position as a globally competitive manufacturer while helping to sustain highly skilled engineering jobs within the region.
However, investment at Tees Components extends far beyond facilities and equipment.
The company firmly believes that long-term success depends on people. Significant effort has been made to create a positive working environment where employees can develop rewarding careers, build valuable skills and contribute to the continued growth of the business. Supporting and developing engineering talent remains a key priority as the company looks to the future.
That commitment to people extends beyond the workforce and into the local community.
As a business deeply rooted in East Cleveland, Tees Components actively supports a wide range of local initiatives. From sponsoring grassroots sports teams and supporting village fetes and community events to providing work experience placements and delivering talks in local primary schools, the company seeks to make a positive contribution to the communities around it.
The objective is simple: to ensure local villages benefit from having a successful precision engineering company based in the area. By helping young people understand the opportunities available within modern manufacturing and engineering, Tees Components hopes to inspire the next generation of skilled engineers while strengthening its connection to the communities it serves.
These values form part of the company’ s wider commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance( ESG) principles.
From an environmental perspective, Tees Components continues to focus on reducing its impact and improving sustainability. Situated within a rural location, the business recognises its responsibility to care for the surrounding environment, with biodiversity and responsible stewardship of the site forming an important part of its long-term approach.
The company has also invested in onsite renewable energy generation, which now provides approximately 15 % of the electricity consumed across its operations. In addition to reducing environmental impact, this investment helps mitigate rising energy costs and supports the longterm resilience of the business.
Strong governance is equally important. Working with major multinational organisations operating in highly regulated sectors requires robust management systems and rigorous standards of compliance. Tees Components operates an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. These internationally recognised standards support a comprehensive approach to risk management, ensuring quality, environmental responsibility and workforce wellbeing remain central to decision-making.
“ We’ re a family business and that influences the way we think. We make decisions for the long term, whether that’ s investing in new equipment, creating opportunities for young people or supporting the communities around us. Our aim is to build a business that future generations can be just as proud of as we are today.” – Sharon Lane, managing director
More than six decades after its foundation, Tees Components continues to look forward with confidence.
By combining engineering excellence, specialist machining expertise and a flexible, customer-focused approach with investment in people, community and sustainability, the company is building on a proud heritage while preparing for the opportunities ahead.
As industries continue to demand increasingly capable and responsive engineering partners, Tees Components is well placed to meet that challenge, delivering world-class manufacturing expertise from the heart of East Cleveland to customers across the UK and around the globe.
