Telemisis, one of the UK’s leading providers of advanced remote monitoring, control and Internet of Things solutions and Tioga Limited, one of the UK's leading privately owned Contract Electronic Manufacturers (CEM), today announce the creation of Tioga Group Limited. Formed through the merger of their combined assets, the new group has been created as part of a strategic growth plan that will accelerate international expansion and entry into new markets.

Tioga Group Limited includes the businesses of Telemisis, Tioga, Audiotel International and a minority interest in SurePulse Medical, a joint venture with the University of Nottingham. The new group employs over 150 people across the UK. It already derives a substantial amount of its revenues from international sales.

At Tioga Group we are investing now in expanding our world-class manufacturing and product capabilities, to fully exploit these opportunities.”

As part of the merger, the co-founders of Telemisis Limited, Tony Richardson and Chris Begent will join the board of the new group.

“Bringing together the respective strengths of Tioga, Telemisis and Audiotel will allow us to drive our growth, both at home and internationally”, commented Tony Richardson, “By leveraging our combined expertise in development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, we will accelerate the introduction of innovative new products, demanded by our customers.”
