TMI Group is an acronym for Tanke Metal Industry. The company derived its name from owner Matthieu Tanke, a well respected and highly experienced entrepreneur in Twente’s metal industry.
By integrating three individual companies – OTR Techniek, Knobbe Metaalindustrie and TB Steelsupply, each a recognised name in the market – a new company emerged in 2017, keen to supply the entire chain. In 2020, the company Lasto Stainless Steel was also added to the TMI Group.
The total number of employees at the TMI Group is 50 as a result of this takeover.
The company has four operating units: TMI Machining, TMI Steel Supply, TMI Platform Systems and TMI Lasto.
