TSI Grows in Arlington Located on 110th Street, the new TSI Products, Inc. headquarters is 150,000 square feet of design innovation, research and manufacturing efficiency – an increase in size from their previous space of 39,000 square feet. When asked why Arlington is the perfect spot for this multi-brand company to call home, CEO John Ehlert said that “Between the central location, quality workforce and business friendly environment, Arlington is the perfect fit for our growing organization.” Among TSI’s investment into this facility is the new state-of-the-art Tech Center operated by International Climate Systems (ICS). The multi-million- dollar design and innovation lab contains the only Climate Tunnel in North America, specifically dedicated to the design, testing and manufacturing of air conditioning and heating systems for power sports, military and electric vehicles. This facility is key when working with ICS’ OE manufacturing clients which include Polaris, Arctic Cat, Kawasaki, TUG, Caterpillar, Can-AM and more.  TSI Products and its group of brands have been a staple in the Arlington, Texas area for more than three decades, and we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. —CEO JOHN EHLERT In addition to the ICS Tech Center, TSI has also invested in a highly efficient production line for their A/C Avalanche aftermarket refrigerant business, capable of producing 240 cans per minute. Supplying virtually every major aftermarket retailer from the likes of AutoZone, Walmart, Target, NAPA, Dollar General and at least a dozen more retail locations makes Avalanche not only a household brand, but their market penetration is seen across North America. Also housed inside the TSI campus is MoblOrg. Starting out originally as a console manufacturer, MoblOrg has now become an aftermarket leader with interior accessories. Everything from cup holders and consoles to vehicle organizers are made in Arlington. Their products can be found at Walmart, multiple automotive retailers and even north of the border at Canadian Tire. MoblOrg has been featured on the Today Show, and their seven high-tech injection molding machines not only produce products for their own brand, but also supports both ICS and A/C Avalanche with components for their products as well.
