Tri-onics Incorporated is a family owned business, which was incorporated in the State of Illinois, January 1969. Tri-onics initially was engaged in the design, development, sale and servicing of digital electronic assemblies. Principal proprietary products included Digital Readout Systems and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) for the Machine Tool Industry.

Tri-onics currently owns 30,000 square foot of modern factory and office favorably situated on eleven (11) acres in an Industrial Park located in Highland, IL.

Highland, Illinois is a rural farm community located 32 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, an area known for a work force having the highest standards of work ethics.

During its 1st 10 years the company experienced rapid growth, experiencing an average annual compound growth rate of fifty per cent (50%) per year. During this time it went from two (2) employees in 1969, to sixty (60) employees in 1979.

During the period from 1980 to 1985, Tri-onics was totally dependent on the Machine Tool Industry and the sale of its products. The industry and those serving it experienced a decline in sales level to twenty-eight per cent (28%) in 1979.

During 1985, Tri-onics made the decision to become a major factor in the Contract Electronic Assembly Market. This decision was made to achieve diversification from the machine tool industry and to become less dependent on company engineered products.

With this commitment to the Contract Electronic Assembly Market came the obligation to purchase automated assembly equipment as necessary to become a factor in this market. The commitment was made without any immediate prospect for customers to utilize this equipment.

During 1988, Tri-onics again made a major commitment, this time to the purchase of automated assembly equipment for Surface Mount Technology, again without any commitment from customers for use of the equipment. Through the years, the company has continued to add leading edge production equipment to its facility.

During the 90’s Tri-onics made the transition completely away from its Proprietary Product and became an Electronic Manufacturing Service Industry (EMSI) Provider. Its complete focus has shifted to supporting its customer’s needs by becoming an extension of their operations.

In 2000, the company made the commitment to reinvest a specified percentage of sales in state of the art production equipment and assembly processes. Tri-onics has continued its dedication to providing its customers leading-edge technology solutions.

In 2004, Tri-onics became a global manufacturer by opening a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in Mainland China. This China facility can perform the same primary manufacturing functions as its US facility. Tri-onics can now provide customers a total solution for their entire product mix. The solutions range from prototypes to high volume low cost manufacturing, with local support.

Tri-onics is interested in "partnering" with companies having low to high volume requirements, and insist on high quality product and "on-time" deliveries. To this partnership Tri-onics brings its experience and knowledge of both leading edge technology and the essential factors of successful manufacturing. Its facility reflects that knowledge. Tri-onics becomes an extension of its customer’s manufacturing and design department, problem solvers ready to help customers improve their bottom line.

While plant size and equipment are important to prospective customers, there should be an issue of far greater interest. MORAL INTEGRITY.

Tri-onics "CORE VALUES" set us apart from other companies, "Old Fashion" values that translate into TRUST.

What Tri-onics stands for as a company, is considered to be its primary strength.
