PITTSGURGH – TMI International LLC marked its silver anniversary in 2013. In 1988, TMI introduced its first line of PVC strip doors offering an affordable, practical solution to lower energy consumption and costs. Now, 25 years later, TMI produces a comprehensive line of products designed to manage a wide range of environments.

TMI founder Jos Kleynjans commented, “We developed the most diversified, but least expensive, doorway closures and combined the manufacturing of strip doors with international trading. This concept created the foundation for the company name; TMI: Trading & Manufacturing Industries.”

TMI evolved and developed, introducing several products to the strip-door industry, including Rip-A-Strip^®, a continuous roll of PVC strip-door replacement strips, and the timesaving strip-door hardware Save-T Loc^®.

Throughout the past 25 years, TMI has made several acquisitions to further diversify its extensive portfolio, including the PVC extrusion facility Win Plastics and most recently the cleanroom and enclosure company Simplex Isolation Systems. Frank Mummolo, TMI’s President & CEO, said, “We expect the considerable synergies between our respective product lines and end markets to fuel significant growth for the entire enterprise.”

TMI is headquartered in Pittsburgh with operations in Cuyahoga Falls, OH; Fontana, CA; and Norcross, GA.
