What Trime does

Trime S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of sustainable mobile equipment for the rental and industrial markets, headquartered in Cassinetta di Lugagnano near Milan with production at Villanova D'Ardenghi. The company designs and builds five core product categories — lighting towers, power generators (12 kVA to 670 kVA), security towers, dust suppression systems, and water treatment solutions — with a technology mix spanning conventional diesel, Stage V ultra-silent, hybrid, solar-hybrid, and fully battery-powered variants, the last grouped under the T-ZERO sub-brand that represents roughly 60% of the fleet and is positioned to deliver up to 80% lower CO2 versus diesel equivalents. Technical differentiation is anchored in proprietary LED illumination platforms, a patented emergency mast brake system (registration 102017000044431) on the X-Chain tower, and plug-in/daisy-chain architectures that allow up to 10 units to link for expanded coverage.

The business model is hardware sales through a hybrid of wholly-owned regional subsidiaries (Trime UK, Trime North in the Netherlands, Trime Asia Pacific, Trime USA, and the acquired FTG Equipment Solutions) and independent distributors such as Klettur in Iceland. End customers are predominantly B2B equipment rental firms, construction contractors, infrastructure operators, mining companies, event organizers, and emergency response agencies; the Loxam hybrid tower fleet expansion illustrates the rental-channel anchor. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and prospects are routed through a sales-led GTM with an online savings calculator on trime.it as a top-of-funnel lead tool.

Trime is privately held and backed by Italian private equity firm Wise Equity, which also backs sister portfolio company Bruno Generators Group (BGG); the two jointly executed the 2021 acquisition of FTG to enter the US market. Headcount sits in the 101-250 range, the company maintains an active trade-show presence (IRE & APEX 2026 in Maastricht), and ongoing geographic expansion targets Northern Europe and North America.
