Best in Test
About Us
With over 1000 cable harness test systems in use in the UK and some 45,000 in total globally – CTS is the recognised leader in cable harness test and can rightly be known as the “Best in Test”.
Our name change from Cirris Solutions to Combined Test Solutions reflected our growing business with new and wider ranges of test equipment.
Our Story
Testing Excellence for Over 30 Years
From a simple idea to a global testing leader. For more than three decades, CTS has delivered innovative test solutions that help companies build with confidence.
In the beginning
Martin Shelley developed the first Signature 1000 Cable Tester in the USA to solve a real problem - faulty cables.
Cirris Systems Corporation was born.
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.
Built on experience. Focused on the future.
Led by Tim Morris, CTS continues to innovate, support our customers, and deliver reliable test solutions you can trust.
