In 2011, Testing Machines Inc, of the TMI Group of Companies, celebrates 80 years of providing laboratory testing equipment to the Paper, Plastic Film, Packaging Machinery, Plastics, Textiles, Non-wovens and Ink industries.

OUR HISTORY

In 1917, a broker based in Manhattan, NY started importing paper roll goods from Europe under the name Foreign Paper Mills. From 1917 to 1931, US customers receiving paper goods from Foreign Paper Mills increasingly requested testing instruments to measure the paper properties such as thickness, tensile strength, moisture content and burst strength of paper specimens. During this period material testing of paper products in the US was in its infancy and only a few paper measurements were performed to determine the quality of paper. Also, at that time, many new technologies for testing instrumentation were being developed in Europe.

Testing Machines Inc. was incorporated in 1931 with the primary business of distributing laboratory testing instruments to a growing US paper industry. Over the years, TMI continued to grow as a supplier of laboratory instrumentation to a variety of industries such as Plastics, Textiles, Adhesives, Rubber and Metals. During the past 20 years, TMI has evolved from a distributor to an engineering and manufacturing organization providing testing solutions to Universities and Industry. The company has also had five strategic global acquisitions since 1999.
