An Impressive History of Success and Growth ...

Since its founding in September 1995, TAU has maintained a record of consistent success and growth in both the manufacturing and services sectors.  TAU has successfully introduced its first patented new technology to the marketplace and has plans to introduce technology - based products at the rate of one per year.  Our success in providing outstanding consulting, engineering, technical support, operations, and maintenance have enabled us to add new services contracts to our portfolio at nearly the rate of one per month for the last year.
