From The History of a Safer World: As the industrial world celebrates the 30th anniversary of the world's premier safety system, the Triconex controller, we look back on the company that built the Tricon. The DNA of Triconex is entreprenurial spirit and culture of relentless quality. As an independent company, it acquired companies that shared their values. In 1992, it bought a Turbo-machinery company whose founder was an Australian born swashbuckling motorcycle enthusiast who shared the wealth his employees when Triconex acquired his firm. A year later Triconex bought a Baton Rouge based safety consulting company whose co-owners kept paying employees out of their own pockets when times were lean. All three companies exemplify the raw entreprenurial spirit and business acumen of operating their companies locally and defining themselves globally.
