A New Era of Opportunity for Award-Winning Managed Services
TNS has decades of established expertise across its main Communications, Financial and Payments Markets solutions. This expertise has led to steady growth and a global reach.
A new era arrived in 2021 as TNS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries. TNS joined a broad portfolio of companies operating independently but benefiting from the strong balance sheet and financial stability of Koch.
