Cirris comes to the UK

Dave Morris brought Cirris technology to the UK, founding Cirris Solutions Ltd and building the foundation for our success.

A Go-To company

Cirris Solutions Ltd had by now built up a large UK customer base of around 1000 companies, becoming the Go-To company in the UK for cable/harness testing. We began selling products from German competitor, Adaptronic, which was found to be a good fit with our existing product offering.

A new chapter

We became Combined Test Solutions Ltd to reflect our expanding product range and partnership with Adaptronic, enabling us to deliver advanced solutions for complex test applications.

Growing our capability

We acquired Stantronic Instruments, expanding our test and measurement offering and supporting even more industries.
