What TASI does

TASI Test and Automation is a privately held industrial technology platform headquartered in Harrison, Ohio, organized as of January 2024 into three strategic segments — Product Integrity, Packaging Integrity, and Automation — operating through nine wholly-owned subsidiary brands including Cincinnati Test Systems, innomatec, Sciemetric, Sierra-CP Engineering, ALPS Inspection, Bonfiglioli Engineering, CASSEL Inspection, Sepha, and ATC Automation & Robotics. The company designs and manufactures highly engineered test, inspection, and automated assembly systems for manufacturers across automotive and EV, pharmaceutical and medical devices, food and beverage, aerospace, life sciences, and general industrial sectors, with named customers including Ford, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Caterpillar, John Deere, Cummins, and Hewlett-Packard.

The technology portfolio spans precision leak test instrumentation (including high-speed rotary leak testers capable of up to 1,200 bottles per minute), container closure integrity testing, metal detection, X-ray inspection, visual inspection, headspace gas analysis, engine and powertrain dynamometer systems, emissions measurement, flow measurement, and custom robotic assembly and functional test systems. Proprietary platforms include Sierra-CP's CADET control and data acquisition system, BG3 partial flow soot filter mass measurement, and Sciemetric's Industry 4.0 in-process monitoring and analytics software. The company reports ALPS machines verify approximately 50 billion containers annually and Bonfiglioli Engineering has over 5,000 installations across 75 countries.

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales of hardware instrumentation, custom engineered turnkey systems, aftermarket service and calibration, and software licenses, supported by over 200 engineers and service resources distributed across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, China, and India, with sales and service capability in over 20 countries. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the engineered, project-based nature of solutions. The company has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy since 2019, completing at least six acquisitions before restructuring TASI Group into TASI Test and Automation and TASI Measurement on January 1, 2024.
