Shared foreign counterparties do not establish that these companies buy from ATEQ TPMS Tools.
What this tells a buyer
The import record reads like a manufacturer moving its own product, not a reseller: the named foreign shippers are overwhelmingly ATEQ's own entities in Taiwan and Thailand plus an affiliated supplier in China.
The dominant customs code is HS 9026.20, instruments for measuring and checking pressure, which are the TPMS tools themselves; the most recent shipment on record, August 24, 2026, was a container of tire-pressure gauges from Shanghai.
The Taiwan, China, and Thailand origin mix directly corroborates the company's claim of three Asian manufacturing plants, an intra-company, Asia-anchored supply chain relevant to buyers weighing tariff exposure.

What ATEQ TPMS Tools makes
ATEQ TPMS Tools designs and supplies tire pressure monitoring system tools for two very different buyers: the automotive assembly line and the tire-repair bay. Its handheld line runs from entry activation tools through full diagnostic tablets, including the VT31, VT36, VT37, VT47, VT56, VT57, and VT67, plus the QuickSet reset tools for consumers and commercial-vehicle tools such as the VT Truck 2.0 for trucks and buses. On the industrial side, the VT65 and VT520 are built into small and large production lines to test TPMS sensors on OEM light-vehicle and truck builds. The tools are sold alongside software licenses and cloud subscriptions (QuickSet X, WebVT), an OBDII relearn module, a pressurized sensor check box, a tire tread-depth gauge, and docking and printing accessories.
The company frames its work around activating, diagnosing, programming, and relearning TPMS sensors, and it offers custom OEM TPMS solutions for manufacturers that need production-line test equipment rather than shelf tools. ATEQ describes itself as "the number one world supplier in the TPMS field," a self-reported claim, and says its reset tools cover 100% of passenger vehicles. As a maker of automotive electronic test and diagnostic equipment, it sits closer to the electronics and software end of the automotive supply base than to metal or mechanical parts, serving both OEM production and the aftermarket.
Ownership and history
ATEQ TPMS Tools, LC is the US operating entity, based at 41144 Vincenti Ct in Novi, Michigan. It is a division of ATEQ Corp., part of the ATEQ Group, a French industrial testing and diagnostics company headquartered at Les Clayes-sous-Bois, outside Paris. The TPMS division began in 2009, per the company, as a small group of TPMS specialists formed to serve the then-growing monitoring market; the parent ATEQ group traces its roots to 1975 and its broader business to leak, flow, and pressure testing under the tagline "we test, you produce."
ATEQ runs four main global offices dedicated to TPMS work, in the United States, Canada (Mississauga, Ontario), France, and China (Shanghai), and cites 37 offices worldwide across the wider group. The company also states it operates three manufacturing plants in Asia, a claim borne out in the trade record below, where its own Taiwan, China, and Thailand entities are the primary shippers of finished tools into the US. North American operations have been led by Davy Leboucher as North American CEO of ATEQ Corp.; Jacques Mouchet is the group's founder and president.
Known customers
ATEQ's customer base spans OEM assembly lines, tire-repair shops, dealerships, and fleet operators, and most individual relationships are not public. One documented program-level relationship is on record:
Customer | Evidence | Confidence | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
Stellantis | Secure Gateway solution for Stellantis vehicles delivered in the VT67 tablet, with ETI and AutoAuth, per the company's own 2023 announcement | Documented | Jan 2023 |
Beyond that, the company reports that 20 OEM brands use its industrial TPMS solutions, a self-reported figure rather than a named list. The tools are widely distributed in the aftermarket, including private-label programs such as the NAPA Echlin TPMS tools that appear in the import record.
Sourcing evidence
ATEQ TPMS Tools' US import record reads like a manufacturer moving its own product to market, not a distributor buying third-party goods. Across 226 US sea shipments recorded from February 2015 through August 2026, the named foreign shippers are overwhelmingly ATEQ's own Asian entities. Bills of lading name seven foreign supplier variants; the most active:
Supplier | Country | Shipments | Typical goods |
|---|---|---|---|
ATEQ Instruments Asia | Taiwan | 77 | TPMS tools, batteries, Snap TPMS, NAPA Echlin TPMS OBD tools |
Control Technology China | China | 55 | TPMS antennas, sensor foam, plastic cases, tire-pressure gauges |
ATEQ Instruments Asia (Taichung) | Taiwan | 35 | TPMS batteries, tread-depth measures, TFT display cards |
ATEQ Thailand | Thailand | 40 | TPMS tools and components |
By HS chapter, the mix leads with instruments for measuring and checking pressure, HS 9026.20, which are the TPMS tools themselves, followed by plastics for cases and sensor foam, electronic display assemblies, and tire-related rubber. The most recent shipment on record, August 24, 2026, was a container of tire-pressure gauges from Control Technology China moving across the Pacific. Container volume is modest, about 0.86 twenty-foot-equivalent units per month over the period, consistent with a compact, high-value tool product line rather than bulk components. The pattern of Taiwan, China, and Thailand origins directly corroborates the company's claim of three Asian manufacturing plants, and buyers weighing tariff exposure or nearshoring should note that the supply chain for these tools is intra-company and Asia-anchored.
Coverage caveats: these are US ocean-freight records only. Air, truck, and rail movements do not appear, some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers, and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence.
