TRM Celebrates 40 Years in Business

May 21, 2010 Bedford, NH —Founded in 1970 in Bedford, NH by Tony Tirollo and Art Marin, TRM Microwave will celebrate its 40th year anniversary June 21st. The company which began in a 1,200-square-foot facility, is outgrowing its current 15,000 square feet and will soon need to relocate to another facility.

Over the past 40 years, TRM has built their solid reputation by suppling military and space-qualified passive RF components, including directional couplers, power dividers, hybrids and beamformers. TRM is also know for offering exceptional engineering services and custom jobs account for 80 percent their business: “We’ve always had that tough, New England attitude and have never gone back to a customer and said that we couldn’t deliver the job as promised for them,” explains Tirollo. The company continues to thrive however and enjoyed record bookings and shipments  last year, during a time when a significant number of  small businesses struggled to stay afloat.

Tirollo credits Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mark Schappler for steering the company in the right direction: “We're improving our manufacturing processes in order to handle higher-volume jobs more efficiently. That’s one of the things that Mark  has brought to the company.” Schappler maintains that their customers  drive them to improve: “Our customers are constantly pushing us for  greater performance at lower cost. Right now, we are working on the  redesign of a custom job in order to drop the price 30 percent for that  customer.” By becoming “engineering problem solvers” and cultivating its  young engineering talent, Tirollo and his team have built a company that's designed to last far beyond 40 years.

TECHNICAL RESEARCH & MANUFACTURING CHANGES IT’S NAME

Bedford, N.H., 

- Technical Research and Manufacturing, Inc. Announces Name Change to TRM Microwave; Company also Introduces New logo.

Technical Research and Manufacturing Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of passive RF and microwave components, is announcing the changing of its name to TRM Microwave.

Company advocates agree the name change is the right move as the name Technical Research and Manufacturing does not connect with customers looking for custom RF components or integrated assemblies. "We learned through our Voice of the Customer interviews that our customers and business partners refer to us as TRM, and adding Microwave more readily identifies us with the market we serve" Mark Schappler, COO said.

Along with the name change TRM Microwave is also revealing its new logo and slogan "Completing Your Ideas®". The former logo was established in 1970 to introduce the TRM brand as a manufacturer of custom RF Microwave components to the military, space and commercial market.

TRM's new logo is intended to connect those customers who may be used to the TRM brand with current and future products as a leading manufacturer of custom passive RF components. TRM established the corporate slogan “COMPLETING YOUR IDEAS” to express the commitment it has to partnering with customers to solve complex requirements of current and future microwave systems.
