ABI was founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1984 as a limited company. 

The company produced the ICT-24, the world's first low-cost digital IC tester, and expanded rapidly as sales of this popular product grew.

A move from a small factory unit in 1985 was followed just two years later into much larger premises. The company grew steadily from there, opening a second factory in 1989 and in 1998 expanding yet again to its present headquarters in Barnsley, England.

The SYSTEM 8 range remains a highly popular product amongst blue chip companies and dedicated repair centres alike. ABI continues to develop this product, taking constant account of customer comments and suggestions.

ABI now has 30 years experience of developing the highest quality testing and fault-finding equipment, backed by a global reputation for quality and service. It is also certified in accordance with ISO9000-2001.
