About us – your IO-Link experts
Our Development
With a focus on electronics development, the engineering firm TEConcept GmbH was founded in 2005 in Vörstetten near Freiburg im Breisgau with the aim of providing technical development services for industrial and commercial customers. In 2015, the subsidiary TEConcept Hungary Kft was established in Szeged, Hungary. Since 2023, TEConcept GmbH has been part of Hafner Beteiligungen GmbH.







Our team in Freiburg
To meet the high demands of modern electronics development, TEConcept relies not only on expertise, but also on a well-coordinated team with deep technical knowledge, strong methodology, and industry experience—focused on IO-Link system integration through development tools and direct, personal project support. That is why our team consists of experienced developers, system architects, test engineers, and consultants. Short internal paths and clear responsibilities ensure efficient collaboration and reliable ownership, even in complex projects.

Our strengths – more than technical development
Since 2013, our focus has been on IO-Link—the IEC 61131-9 compliant point-to-point communication protocol. TEConcept has been proactively contributing to its further development for many years, as reflected for example in our role as an IO-Link Competence Center and Test Center. Today, we support customers worldwide with innovative solutions in industrial communication.
End-to-end development process
We approach development from a systems perspective. That is why we combine consulting, software development, hardware design, test procedures and documentation into an interlocking process. This saves time, costs, and unnecessary interfaces.
Diagnostics & development tools
We provide specialized tools both for our own projects and as solutions for customers, ranging from IO-Link diagnostic tools to developer kits and software solutions such as IODD Studio. This accelerates test cycles and ensures long-term quality.
Many years of experience
Since our founding, our core competence has been at the intersection of embedded systems and industrial sensor/actuator communication, with a clear focus on IO-Link and standard-compliant product development. As an official IO-Link Test Center and active member of the community, we bring deep hardware and firmware expertise to every project. We do not just advise; we develop and support your devices from the initial architectural decision through stack integration to successful certification and market readiness.
Our strong partners
Our collaboration with leading microcontroller and semiconductor manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics, Analog Devices, Renesas, Texas Instruments, and NXP—as well as with our wireless industrial automation partner CoreTigo—enables us to continue developing high-performance IO-Link products and services in the future. These partnerships strengthen our position as a recognized IO-Link Competence and Test Center and expand our portfolio with high-quality software stacks, test systems, and development tools.
In addition, we work with renowned distributors such as Arrow Asia Pac Ltd (Asia), M2M craft Co., Ltd (Japan), EmbedCoreTech (South Korea), Grid Connect (USA), Inc., and Nanjing Loyst Industrial Networks Co., Ltd. (China) to make our solutions available worldwide. These strategic alliances enable us to deliver tailored solutions for our customers—from the initial idea through to the finished product.
Together with our strong partners, we set new standards for innovation in industrial communication and help shape the future of automation.
