What Technology Marketing does

Technology Marketing Inc. (TMI) is a privately held distribution, sales, and marketing company founded in 1978 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company supplies advanced composite materials and accessories to manufacturers in aerospace, defense and military, medical, automotive, marine and sporting goods, renewable energy, and industrial segments. Its catalog spans tooling materials, resin systems, woven reinforcements (carbon, fiberglass, aramid), prepregs, structural foam core (including ROHACELL®), mold release agents, process materials (bagging films, breathers, release films, peel plies, tapes), elastomers, cutting solutions, vacuum hoses, valves and quick connects, abrasives, thermocouples, and precision cutting tools. TMI distributes products from brand-name manufacturers such as Evonik, Lincoln Composite Materials, Chem Trend, Zyvax, Precision Fabrics Group, AMAMCO Tool, PTM & W, Eastman, and Shin-Etsu, and has begun adding proprietary branded lines such as Armor-Mask™ APE 200, ARMOR-VAC™ bio-based elastomers, TACKY TAPE®, and SONICUT-2™ ultrasonic cutting tools, following the 2024 acquisition of SPRAYOMER® Technology IP from SR Composites.

TMI operates four US sales offices (Salt Lake City, Seattle, Sacramento, Santa Ana) supported by technical sales staff who assist customers in material selection, process development, and manufacturing aid selection. The company holds ISO 9001 quality systems certification and sells on a quote-based model through its website's sample and quote request portal and direct enterprise sales engagement. End customers range from commercial and private space and satellite programs to defense and military vehicle projects, medical imaging and exoskeleton manufacturers, EV and autonomous vehicle component suppliers, marine and sporting goods producers, and renewable energy infrastructure builders.

The company is independently owned with no external PE or VC funding disclosed, has 1–10 employees per firmographic data, and is pursuing modest but tangible strategic expansion through distribution partnerships (VacPuc, AMAMCO Tool), IP acquisition (SPRAYOMER®), proprietary product launches (Armor-Mask™ APE 200), and growing supplier alliances. Its revenue, customer concentration, and headcount growth metrics are not publicly disclosed, limiting visibility into commercial scale.
