Company History

With roots stretching back to 1914, adding machine company Transaction Printer Group (TPG) has been the driving force for transaction printer technology throughout the 21^st century. As the printer division for NCR, TPG researched and patented thermal printhead technology in 1964, and introduced the first Electro-Mechanical POS printer in 1973. In 1977 TPG continued their innovation by introducing the ANSWER printer (Alpha Numeric Single Wire Electronic Recorder), solving an industry dilemma by delivering the concepts of the shuttle printhead and line dot printing.

Cognitive has its own innovative history dating back to 1986 when the company's owners invented the first desktop thermal barcode label printer, the Barcode Blazer in Paso Robles, California. Since its inception, Cognitive's compact and affordable barcode printers and media solutions have helped build a company as well as an entire industry.

Today they operate as a combined company – CognitiveTPG – under the umbrella of ATSI Holdings, Inc. to help organizations worldwide enhance their operations, lower costs, comply with labeling and printing mandates and improve customer service.
