What believers are saying

  • USA Today named TAIT a 2025 Top Workplace for the fifth straight year.

  • Fiedler integration must deliver revenue fast, or acquisition synergies vanish by 2027.

  • TAIT's 2026 Fiedler Group acquisition deepens fueling and energy infrastructure expertise.
  • TAIT Energy, launched March 16, 2026, bundles EV charging, BESS, and renewables.
