Our Story

TMI Autotech was founded in 2008 to establish a new exclusive North American License Agreement to for the new Ariel Atom 3. Upon the signing of the new License Agreement, TMI AutoTech promptly evaluated potential US business locations. TMI AutoTech ultimately set up operations within Halifax County, Virginia. Initial manufacturing and sale of the Ariel Atom 3 began in late 2008 within Virginia International Raceway’s industrial park. Larger facility needs led to relocation in early 2016 to South Boston, Virginia within the Industrial Park. 

The first Ariel Atom 3 was delivered to a client in January of 2009 with steady expansion for both the Ariel brand and TMI AutoTech as a company. Providing stable careers for a skilled workforce is a high priority for TMI AutoTech. The inhouse staff includes engineering, machining, fabrication, assembly, warehousing, sales, and marketing.

Product and client expansion has been steady with continuous improvement along the way. Key milestones for TMI AutoTech include the launch of a track specific version of the vehicle named a Spec:RaceAtom in 2011, a Special Edition project with Honda Performance Development in 2013, the in-house designed Atom 3S in 2015, Ariel Nomad production in 2016, and Ariel Atom 4 tooling during 2019/20.  

Today TMI AutoTech has a 60,000 square-foot manufacturing facility designed with future expansion in mind. The new Ariel Atom 4 is manufactured along with the Nomad under the Ariel banner. In addition to complete vehicle manufacturing, TMI AutoTech has worked hard to cultivate mutually beneficial relationships with various industry partners. In addition to consulting services, various automotive components have originated at, and taken advantage of the skills and machinery currently available at TMI AutoTech.
