Those two founding principles were put to the test when TWI compiled a logistics package for the Sundstrand Corporation and shipped a total of 29,000 pounds of freight for twenty-seven exhibitors to the 1973 Paris Air Show. With that highly successful transaction, TWI was well on its way to becoming the largest exclusive provider of personnel and freight logistics to the exhibition industry. It also began a series of firsts for TWI, and in some cases, for the industry as a whole:

1973	TWI provides on-site supervision by its own personnel for the move-ins and the move-outs of exhibit materials at foreign exhibitions.
1975	TWI completes the first show-to-show move as opposed to a show-to-origin move. Connecting freight for both United Technologies and the Garrett Corporation from the Brazil Air Show to the Japan Air Show, TWI accomplishes a feat unattained by both the British and German forwarders.
1977	TWI ships aerospace clients to energy and technology shows, becoming a dominant force at aerospace/defense shows by eventually handling over fifty percent of the aerospace freight from the USA. TWI is named the official logistics provider for both Semicon Europa and Semicon Japan.
1979	TWI forms EXTRAS to offer accommodations, ground transportation and event management to the aerospace/defense industry.
1981	TWI ships freight exceeding 300,000 pounds to the 1981 Paris Air Show and tallies revenues in excess of $2 million.
1986	TWI coordinates its first major worldwide tour of the S-72 on behalf of Sikorsky Aircraft, an accomplishment involving four months of continual movement.
1988	TWI establishes TWI Import Services to assist foreign exhibitors participating in shows in the United States with customs clearance, bonding, local transportation and storage. TWI creates TWI Canada to provide export services for Canadian exhibitors.
1989	TWI coordinates the movement of material to its first North American show, Airshow Canada in Abbottsford, British Columbia. TWI successfully undertakes a tour of Asia for General Dynamics' F16, leading to the current management of over a dozen tours per year, primarily in the aerospace/defense and broadcast/computing industries.
1995	EXTRAS reserves hotel rooms four years in advance of Telecom '95, assuring its clients space in Geneva and eliminating the burden faced by many show attendees, that of having to commute from as far as France and England.
1998	TWI partners with numerous agents, participating in bulk buy/guaranteed payment plans in order to reduce costs for clients.
1999	TWI's corporate name becomes TWI Group, Inc.
2000	Having stayed true to the two founding principles set forth in 1972 by Steve Barry, TWI marks the millennium with a sales volume exceeding thirty million dollars and recognition around the globe as North America's foremost international tradeshow logistics company.
2001	Founder Stephen J. Barry, Jr. resigns as President and focuses on strategic goals as Chairman and CEO. His son, Steve Barry is promoted to President and COO. Greg Keh is promoted to Executive Vice President. These two have combined 33 years experience with TWI.
2002	The trade show industry experiences several setbacks from a slow economy, and reduced attendance and participation. TWI responds with a successful company wide effort to contain costs.
2003	The trade show recovery was stalled by the SARS outbreaks and by an ongoing sluggish world economy. However, changes instituted in 2002 produced a profitable year. An employee profit sharing program was started to focus staff efforts on bottom line results. This generated over $200,000 in profit share awards.
