History

Founded in 1976 by David R. Tompos and Dennis Norkus, NTA has long been a part of the Tompos family. David and Dennis worked hard to build a company whose name became synonymous with quality and integrity. After Dennis retired in 2002, David’s sons, David A. Tompos and Eric Tompos, purchased Dennis’s company share and dramatically expanded its services and capabilities.

In 2019, NTA was acquired by the International Code Council and became ICC NTA, LLC.
