TIF BOCSCH XP-1A Qualitative Leak Detector | Corona Principle
Brand Evolution
The XP-1A originates from TIF, with internal packaging retaining the TIF trademark. In 2010, TIF was acquired by ROBINAIR, a U.S. leader in refrigerant recovery systems, to expand its product line into leak detection, recovery, and identification. In 2014, ROBINAIR became part of BOSCH's automotive aftermarket division, making the XP-1A a BOSCH-branded product. Manufactured by Bosch Automotive Service Solutions (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., it specializes in automotive refrigerant leak detection.
We have authorized Bosch to distribute XP-1A,from “Bosch Automotive Service Solutions (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.”
