Transmitter Shop Inc.

What Transmitter Shop Inc. does

The Transmitter Shop Inc. (TTS), founded in 1984 and headquartered in Pasadena, Texas, is an industrial instrumentation distributor operating as a Texas-incorporated private company with 1–10 employees. Its core business is the resale of process-control instruments — pressure, temperature, level, flow, differential-pressure, multivariable, and wireless transmitters — plus control valves, controllers/positioners, diaphragm seals, remote seals, RTDs, thermocouples, thermowells, gas detectors, level switches, manifolds, and gauges. TTS distributes products from major brands including Rosemount and Micro Motion (Emerson), Foxboro (Schneider Electric), Fisher (Emerson), Aplisens, VEGA, PR Electronics, Otis Instruments, E2S Warning Signals, and Bourdon, and also markets its own TTS private-label line of transmitters and manifolds. Products are offered in three conditions — Factory New (manufacturer warranty), Reconditioned, and New Surplus — and ship with a two-year in-house warranty from the Pasadena warehouse.

TTS monetizes through hardware sales (new, surplus, and reconditioned instruments), professional calibration services (NIST-traceable with ISO/IEC 17025 alignment, 5–7 business day turnaround), transmitter repair services (2-week typical turnaround), and remote-seal solutions. Pricing is quote-based via website RFQ, phone (+1-888-964-8837), or email ([email protected]), with a stated discount-pricing model. Adjacent services are staffed by technicians with combined experience exceeding 100 years. End-customers span oil & gas, chemical and pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petroleum refining, water and wastewater, power generation, and pulp and paper — a vertical-segmented industrial base reliant on process measurement for safety, compliance, and throughput.

TTS reaches buyers through a content-led B2B motion: a product- and brand-cataloged website, an educational blog covering HART/4–20 mA wiring, radar level, thermowell installation, and calibration best practices, and organic social on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Pinterest. Distribution is direct-to-end-customer from a single Pasadena warehouse, with global shipping but no owned international footprint. The company carries no disclosed external funding, no M&A history, no patents, and no leadership changes in the source material; ownership is private and undisclosed.
