TASI Test and Automation to continue to expand product and service offerings in this new era of growth
As of January 1, 2024, the TASI Group is restructured into two individual organizations: TASI Test and Automation (tasigroup.com), and TASI Measurement (tasimeasurement.com).
TASI Test and Automation focuses on advanced test, inspection, and assembly solutions for the manufacturing industry that improve production processes and deliver value-added results. It is comprised of three segments: Product Integrity, Packaging Integrity, and Automation. For more information on the companies under TASI Test and Automation, please visit tasigroup.com.

This structural change will have no impact on our customers. In fact, it will only augment and propel the industry-leading solutions and service you’ve come to expect from us.
TASI Test and Automation continues to be led by a strong, experienced leadership team. To learn more about the latest members of our leadership team, please visit tasigroup.com/leadership/.
