Mission and Vision

Our Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles

The world has changed a lot since TSI started building instruments in 1961, but some things remain the same. TSI’s commitment to our customers’ success, our dedication to research, and our drive to make the world a better place have always been part of our history. 

Recently, TSI refined our Mission and Vision Statements, as well as articulated our Guiding Principles. A company’s Mission establishes a foundation for the organization. A Mission is the reason the company exists. Why are we here? What problems do we solve for our customers? A Vision describes what the future looks like if we are successful in delivering our Mission.
