We are excited to announce the strengthening of our long standing business relationship with Trio Motion Technology. 

Following Trio’s acquisition by the Estun Group and a strategic change of route to market, Micromech is to become Trio’s ‘UK Solutions Partner’

Micromech have utilised Trio’s world class motion coordinators in both OEM solutions and bespoke control systems since the 1990s. Our engineering team has many years of experience in designing motion control systems based on the Trio platform, writing application specific software and providing aftersales support.

In 2020 Trio launched its excellent range of DX4 servo systems. These products are now available from Micromech. Along with Trio’s Motion Coordinator systems, Micromech can now offer a more complete motion control solution to OEMs and machine builders based on Trio products.

Working in partnership with Trio, we at Micromech aim to provide a comprehensive service for Trio products including:

Trio Motion Technology was founded in 1987 as a manufacturer of motion controllers. Today the range, branded Motion Coordinators, can control up to 128 axes of servo, stepper and piezo motors as well as hydraulic systems. Trio’s expertise of motion programming is based within its Motion-iX technology. Launch of the new servo drive and motor package now develops Trio’s offering into a motion solution in addition to providing motion controllers for automation vendors and system integrators.

The company headquarters is based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, which also comprises its primary research and development hub. Additional R&D facilities are located in Italy, Bulgaria, and also China, where Trio’s products are assembled. Application development teams are located in the UK, USA, Italy, India and China, and a global sales network comprises over 100 partners. 

In 2017 Trio was acquired by the Estun Group, which is supporting Trio in its growth with assistance through shared facilities and R&D as well as financial backing. Trio has exceeded 15% growth year on year since the acquisition. In addition to the primary global markets, a significant proportion of Trio’s business is in China where the company’s motion control capability has enabled Estun to become a major player in the China automation market. Despite the presence of the Estun brand, motion control products in China carry Trio branding. 

Estun started its activity in 1993 in Nanjing, China as a manufacturer of control systems for metal forming machinery. Today the company comprises six business groups focussing on automation and robotics, distributed around the world. Estun reported 2018 global sales figures at $230m and has more than 40% growth rate in recent years.

Estun is one of China’s tier one robot manufacturers and has a 100,000 m2 robot manufacturing facility, as well as a servo drive and motor manufacturing plant. The company is operated with an Automation Business Group, focused on machine performance, and a Robotics Business Group, based on turn-key factory projects including robotics and automation.
