About US

If your product’s performance depends on precise control of light – frequency, color, intensity, uniformity, or stray light – TechniQuip delivers lighting engineered to perform.

Our Capabilities

Designs & Prototyping

From initial concept to high-precision prototype, TechniQuip provides full design and prototyping services tailored for medical, industrial, and research lighting solutions. Our in-house engineering team leverages deep expertise in optical design, LED illumination, and custom lighting applications, delivering proof-of-concept models that meet functional, aesthetic, and performance requirements before moving to production.

Full-Scale Manufacturing
Built in our USA-based facility, TechniQuip scales production from prototype to full manufacturing — producing thousands of robust, reliable LED lighting and illumination systems each year. Whether you require small-batch custom lighting or large-volume supply, our manufacturing capabilities ensure consistent quality, on-time delivery, and compliance with demanding industrial and medical standards.
Advanced CAD/CAM/CNC
Leveraging state-of-the-art CAD/CAM/CNC technologies, TechniQuip rapidly converts validated designs into precision-machined components and complete lighting assemblies. This advanced workflow reduces development time, improves tolerances and reliability, and supports custom or complex optical and mechanical lighting systems for life science, inspection, assembly, and R&D applications.
Rapid Product Development

Robin Steingraf

Director of Operations

The lifeblood of any manufacturing company is the supply of raw materials and components at a level sufficient to satisfy production but below a level that destroys investor value with excessive inventory holdings. Robin walks that thin line, using the latest MRP tools. In the last ten years this task has grown more challenging every year as component suppliers have moved offshore creating much longer lead times for the simplest of parts such as switches, fasteners, and the like. Robin’s BS in Managerial Economics from the University of California, Davis and her prior work managing complex tasks for other companies has made her uniquely qualified for the complex, fast paced, challenge of manufacturing a low volume, high mix group of products on schedule each month. When not tackling supply issues, Robin, and her husband of 22 years, are busy raising three children.

George Gauer

Executive VP

Automation dramatically levels the global playing field and provides precise and consistent results. As such, TechniQuip fully invested in the latest CNC technologies from HAAS several years ago. George’s background in mechanical engineering made him uniquely qualified to manage these operations. ‘ George graduated with a BSME from the University of Illinois, Champaign and went on to do design work for the US Navy and United Air Lines before co-founding TDG Aerospace, Inc. with Dave Wensley and two other individuals in 1991. George, and his wife of 23 years, Annika have two college age children.

David Wensley

CEO & Co-founder

Technology has long intrigued David whose father and peers developed some of the most commonly used technology while at Stanford and its spin-off SRI International. Visits to SRI during childhood provided a peek into what would become the computer mouse, the graphical user interface, robotics, and many other such wonders. Upon graduating from the University of California Berkeley David went to work at United Air Lines where the miracle of flight was on display each and every day. From there David co-founded TDG Aerospace, a company that developed anti-icing technology for MD80 aircraft. David has overseen TechniQuip since its acquisition by Technology Dynamics Group in 1996. David is married and raising three children with his wife of 25 years.
