Moncton, New Brunswick-based TSI Auto Solutions has been purchased by NCM Associates, a firm out of Kansas City, Mo., whose claim to fame is founding the 20 Group process.

NCM said in a news release Thursday that it will be “business as usual” for the two companies in the near term and that “any merger activities will be done with the utmost care to minimize client impacts.”
