Mission and Values

Our missions at Tannas & King is to design, manufacture and service world-class laboratory instrumentation for routine testing and advanced research of lubricants and related materials.

The Savant Group of companies now enjoys its second generation of family ownership. The organization began in 1969 by Theodore W. Selby as a materials consulting firm with an emphasis on lubrication.

In 1973, in response to the growing need for independent laboratory facilities to complement his consulting activities, Mr. Selby opened a small, limited laboratory for the testing and evaluation of lubricants, particularly as they relate to the transportation industry.

Through the intervening years, the laboratory grew to become a model laboratory for the industry, renowned for its ability to develop ways to meet unique client requests, and for its commitment to quality data and timeliness of reporting.

Consequently, several test methods, as well as unique instrumentation, have been developed in Savant Laboratories and those now represent accepted standards of the industry.
