What we do
Invention is the business. Licensing, equipment and partnerships are how it reaches you.
For more than 40 years we have solved production problems in cold-formed steel and door manufacturing. Today Tractive Group turns those solutions into protected intellectual property and takes it to market in three ways.
01Licensed
We invent and license.
We create new door technologies and forming processes, patent them worldwide, and license them to manufacturers who want a protected advantage in their own product range. A licence gives you the technology, the engineering support to implement it, and the exclusivity your market needs — without funding the R&D yourself.
- Who this is for
- Door manufacturers, component makers and machine builders who want to add a patented product or process.
- Example technologies
02Equipment supplied
We invent and build.
Some inventions are production machinery in their own right. Where the market is there, we develop the equipment fully, prove it in production and supply it — directly, or through manufacturing partners in the customer’s region. You buy a working line, not a concept.
- Who this is for
- Manufacturers of doors, purlins and steel building components who want automation that removes labour and changeover time.
03Partner technology
We partner on your IP.
Good ideas in this industry are often held by people without the time, capital or network to commercialise them. When we see technology that gives the metal forming industry a significant benefit, we work with its owner to protect it properly, package it, and license it to manufacturers worldwide — sharing the income. You keep ownership; we bring the patents, the market and the licensees.
- Who this is for
- Inventors, engineers, machine builders, suppliers and estates holding patents or know-how that deserves a wider market.
- Partner technologies
We are currently commercialising partner technologies in this way; ask us about it in confidence.
