TECKNIT was first incorporated in the state of New Jersey in June 1958 as Technical Wire Products. The original facility consisted of 10,000 square feet of space. Today Tecknit occupies over 85,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space in Cranford, NJ; Grantham, England; Apodaco, Mexico; Madrid, Spain; Shenzhen, Suzhou and Beijing, China. On October 16, 2006, the Parker Hannifin Corporation acquired the TECKNIT division from its Technical Wire Products parent. TECKNIT operates as a Business Unit in the Chomerics Division of the Parker Hannifin Corporation.

Over the years, TECKNIT products have been designed into thousands of highly advanced commercial and military applications. These products include knitted wire mesh, conductive silicone elastomers, Fabric-Over-Foam gaskets, conductive coatings, adhesives, vent panels, windows and beryllium copper EMI gaskets.
