In 1996 Tuthill Corporation purchased the Kinney Vacuum Company and in 1999 Atlantic Fluidics. In 2002, these operations were combined with Tuthill Pneumatics Group, manufacturer of the world-renowned M-D Pneumatics™ rotary blowers and vacuum boosters, to form Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems (TVBS), the sole manufacturer of Kinney® and Atlantic Fluidics® brands of vacuum pumps. M-D Pneumatics™ became part of the Tuthill family in 1988. Since the creation of TVBS, it has expanded with a stocking/sales/service facility location in the United Kingdom, two complete service and repair facilities in Canton (Boston), Massachusetts, San Dimas (Los Angeles), California, and fully equipped manufacturing facilities in Springfield, Missouri, Norwalk, Connecticut, Bueños Aires, Argentina, along with joint ventures in both Yixing and Shanghai, China.
