TMSI History

Our Story

TMSI was founded in the heart of the tire industry with a simple mission: to provide the most accurate, repeatable measurement systems for tire research and manufacturing. What began as a small engineering shop has grown into a trusted partner for tire makers and research institutions worldwide.

Founding & Early Years

Our roots go back to a team of engineers and tire scientists who saw a need for better laboratory-grade test equipment. Working closely with leading tire companies in Akron and beyond, we developed our first generation of precision test machines and established the standards for repeatability and data quality that still guide our designs today.

Growth & Innovation

Over the decades we have expanded our product line to include uniformity test systems, rolling resistance equipment, endurance test machines, and custom solutions for specialized research. We have also built long-term relationships with major tire manufacturers and continue to invest in R&D to meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Today

TMSI remains committed to the same principles that defined us from the start: precision, reliability, and a focus on our customers’ success. Our team of engineers and support staff is based in Ohio and works with clients around the globe to deliver measurement solutions that meet the highest standards of the tire industry.
