History[edit]

TMI was founded in 1931 in New York, primarily as a distributor of laboratory testing instruments. Since then, it has expanded to not only distribute, but also design and manufacture instruments. Since 2009, The TMI Group has made five global acquisitions. In 2010, the headquarters relocated from Ronkonkoma, NY, to the current green-energy facility in New Castle, DE.[1][2][3]

Current Activities[edit]

The TMI Group's corporate headquarters are located in New Castle, Delaware, in a 20,000 square foot green-energy building.[1] The facility is equipped with 160 solar panels, geo-thermal heating and cooling, and LED lighting.[4][5]

In 2011, TMI was presented the Delaware Small Business Administration’s Family Owned Business of the Year award.[6]

On March 14, 2014, TMI was acquired by Union Park Capital, a Boston-based private equity firm.
