With the recent consequences of the pandemic in the world, TRICOR as an essential business is proud to be doing its part to help. They have remained open and at full staff during these trying times ready to serve their existing and new customers.

Where many manufacturing companies have failed to survive the past three decades of offshoring, TRICOR has thrived by remaining diversified. By serving multiple sectors, TRICOR has been able to shift their focus to the sectors that are thriving.

For example, when the Berlin Wall came down and the Cold War ended, their primary focus was military work. But soon after the wall fell, they realized that it was time to shift focus so they began to develop and manufacture chocolate temper meters for the confectionary industry.

That was quickly followed by a number of products for testing switches and looking at the appearance of a final product for gloss, haze, DOI and color. In 2006, TRICOR expanded its offerings again when they were approached to manufacture a dental product. That is when they quickly realized that the medical industry was similar to the military/aerospace industry.

All three understood the importance of quality and therefore were interested in a high-quality product that would not fail in the field.

TRICOR’s longevity has allowed its experienced employees to gain knowledge that they pass on to their customers. With this knowledge and their ability to be flexible, it has made them a desirable contract manufacturing partner for start-up companies in the medical arena. TRICOR understands the nuances of a new startup company and realizes that a good partner needs to be flexible in order to accommodate for all possible issues that can arise throughout the process. Working with start-ups for four, six and even eight years before a product is ready for large production, is an investment in time that breeds commitment and loyalty to each other.
