Expansion Plans and Off-The-Shelf Products   In the last issue of this TriMark newsletter (click here to view), we talked about how TriMark is “Building Local – Selling Global.” Thanks to the continuing growth of TriMark’s global business, the “Building Local” part of that statement has taken on larger proportions. TriMark is currently in the process of adding approximately 14,400 square feet of manufacturing space to the New Hampton facility. The TriMark facility has been expanded several times due to the growth from new customers as well as current TriMark customers asking us to provide them with additional services and products. We promise to share more details of this expansion in future newsletters but here is just a quick overview of the areas that will benefit from this initiative: Finishing and buffing – we are adding a robotics cell which will allow us to finish and buff products on an expanded and less labor-intensive basis. Plastics and injection molding – we have seen a huge increase in demand for this capability, so we have made the investment for a state-of-the-art facility including some new equipment Air conditioned assembly space to support new product lines Additional equipment and capabilities to support TriMark’s Tool Room Department New Product Testing facility Also in the last newsletter, we promised you a look at additional information about TriMark’s Off-the-Shelf products. Quite frankly, we probably have not done an adequate job informing our customers that we are much more than just a provider of custom products. Our customers are telling us loud and clear that they want to utilize these “ready to go” solutions. The reality is that TriMark has been providing Off-the-Shelf access solutions for many years and our list of platforms/products numbers well into the thousands. In the next issue of this newsletter we will delve a little more deeply into how our customers can access and view this comprehensive information. As always, thank you for your continued support and we are looking forward to sharing additional expansion details as they become available. The TriMark Management Team   Whatever Your Need TriMark Has the RIGHT Rotary Latch Solution for You   You may already know that TriMark has produced over 30 MILLION Rotary Latches making it the global leader in Rotary latch solutions.

Latch applications range from heavy-duty to light weight, compact to normal, and top-of-the-line to more value-oriented. And, there is an almost unlimited number of relevant applications for both on and off-highway needs. Rotary Latches 101 When you’ve made over 30 million rotary latches it is easy to forget that, while we at TriMark may be intimately familiar with the complete product menu, we need to be constantly aware that our customers also need to be “in the loop” about our rotary latch platforms and sub-platforms. It was suggested by one of our long-standing latch customers that it might be a good idea to re-visit the basic configuration options for our rotary latches (single and two-rotor latches) as well as a more comprehensive look at the full range of available latches. Two Rotor TriMark's proven two rotor latches lead the industry in reliability and durability.
