Our story
In the early 1960s, manufacturers followed a business model that relied on customers to purchase expensive test equipment for short-term projects, burdening them with unnecessary capital expenses. That’s when an IEEE-certified manufacturer rep named Jim McCann Sr. saw a chance to provide these customers with alternative buying options that included renting and leasing. The company he founded was Continental Resources, Inc. (ConRes).
In November 2024, TestEquity acquired ConRes Test Equipment. As a leading distributor, TestEquity provides the largest and highest quality selection of test and measurement equipment, related industrial assembly supplies, and tool kits from top manufacturer partners, supporting industries such as technology, aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, education, and medical.
