Noventis Safety, a portfolio company of Inflexion Private Equity, is pleased to announce the acquisition of TSI FLOWMETERS, a market-leading designer and manufacturer of precision flow and pressure measurement instruments serving the fire & rescue and water utility industries.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Portlaoise, Republic of Ireland, TSI delivers next-generation solutions for accurate flow rate, volume, pressure, and water quality measurement at the hydrant. Their products are developed and manufactured by a highly skilled team dedicated to innovation and quality. TSI’s mission is to enable efficient, effective, and sustainable management of network systems for their customers.
This acquisition marks the latest strategic expansion by Noventis Safety in the flow testing sector, following the additions of The Hose Monster Company in May 2024 and Global Vision Inc in March 2025. TSI brings complementary technology and product synergies that further enhance Noventis Safety’s capabilities and reinforce its commitment to advancing life safety and testing solutions.
Robert Campbell, Group CEO, commented, “Building on our position within the test and measurement flow meter space is a key objective for our growth strategy. I am delighted to confirm the acquisition of TSI which delivers on this objective and in doing so brings another market leading company into the Noventis Safety Group.”
Tim Carew, Founder and MD of TSI added, “In our 25 years we’ve worked with our customers and industry partners to evolve, develop and refine solutions that enhance performance, ensure compliance, and drive continuous improvement; becoming part of Noventis Safety provides the opportunity to build on this and create something very special for our customers and internal team.”
