Our Story
Trinks Inc. began in 1935 with a simple idea: build reliable, hardworking equipment that helps manufacturers do more. Over the years, that idea grew into a legacy of engineering expertise, innovation, and customer-focused service. Today, we design and build custom hydraulic and electric press systems that support modern manufacturing around the world.
As a result, our team combines decades of craftsmanship with advanced technology to deliver equipment that lasts. We provide solutions that perform and a team that stands behind every press we build.
Fun Fact: Some of our original presses from the 1940s and 1950s are still running today, a testament to the durability that continues to define our equipment.
