We’ve all been there: after a meeting with a vendor, you don’t remember a thing because you didn’t understand the layers of technology. If that ever happens here at Trident, we have failed. Our primary goal is to build a control system our customers understand—a system that is easy to maintain and grow with each business.

Our three founders grew up in the controls industry and have seen your business from the inside out. Our customers trust our boots on the ground approach to keep their plants running. This means we get to know each individual ethanol customer and the quirks with every operating system. Our goal is to integrate the best products on the market, and to customize solutions for each plant.

It all starts at the top and we’d like to share the philosophy that keeps our customers happy.
