Manage shop resources and maintain timelines.Tric builds primarily automated production and testing machinery. Projects range from hand-held gadgets to multi-million dollar assembly lines. Each machine or production line is designed, built, tested and run-off for acceptance in-house. Tric has about 30 employees, half in design and half in machining and assembly. We have a larger than typical controls dept, which keeps our machines more advanced and simpler to build and maintain. Our build quality is high and consistent. Our customers like our machines, they do what they're supposed to, don't break down, and are easy to maintain and modify. We aren't always the lowest bidder, but once we build for a customer they know they're getting more for their money with us.
