Beyond is not only where we end up, it’s where we start. Since we founded Technical Concepts in 1987, we have always reached beyond, looking for new ways to automate the washroom, new ways to make the washroom cleaner and hygiene better around the world.

Today, people demand a clean washroom with high-quality soap systems and fresh, clean fragrances. Facility managers demand washrooms that are easy to maintain, use less water and are more reliable. It’s good business to design high quality products that are safe, healthy and ecologically sound. Business owners know that people are more likely to patronize a business that provides a clean, hygienic washroom.
 
We lead by focusing on innovation and applying technology so it works. Through strong partnerships with our customers, we extend a global reach that enables us to develop solutions customized by culture and geography. Through our commitment to research and development, we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance washroom hygiene and to improve upon our industry-leading reliability, ease of installation and user-friendly performance. At Technical Concepts, we reach. Beyond.
 
Headquartered in Mundelein, Illinois, outside Chicago, Technical Concepts has regional offices strategically located in London, England and Johannesburg, South-Africa serving Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and in Penang, Malaysia, servicing the markets of Asia.
 
Technical Concepts International (TCI) was established in London in 1991 as an Independent Limited Partnership Company to better service the European, African, and Middle Eastern markets. In 1995, Technical Concepts opened its Asia Regional Office to better meet the needs of its Asian customers.

In February of 2003, Senior Technical Concepts management and Liberty Partners, partnered to purchase the assets of Technical Concepts LP. Liberty Partners provides Technical Concepts with considerable strategic and financial resources as we seek to capitalize on the rapidly emerging marketplace trend towards washroom and wash station automation.
 
In January 2006, Technical Concepts acquired Bentfield, a Dutch manufacturing company specializing in skin care systems for the washroom. And in August of that year, Technical Concepts established a subsidiary in Johannesburg to better serve the South-African region.

In April 2008, Technical Concepts was acquired by Newell Rubbermaid, a global manufacturer and marketer of both consumer and commercial products.  Technical Concepts adds substantial scale to Newell Rubbermaid’s Commercial Products’ global business unit, creating a leading position in the $2.5 billion worldwide away-from-home washroom category.   In addition, Technical Concepts presence outside the U.S. is expected to significantly increase the combined entity’s global footprint.

Today, Technical Concepts has more than 500 direct employees and five operations serving North America, Europe and Asia. The company distributes its products thorough a network of more than 2,000 independent distributor locations worldwide. It is also a preferred OEM supplier to many of the world's leading suppliers of away-from-home washroom products and services.
