TriDelta Systems

What TriDelta Systems does

TriDelta Systems is a privately held industrial automation, engineering, and custom machinery company headquartered in Abbeville, Alabama, founded in 1997 by Benny Smith. The company operates from a 60,000+ sq ft production and R&D facility and provides a vertically integrated stack of services spanning electrical, mechanical, automation and controls, fabrication, machining, UL-certified panel building, robotics integration (ABB Value Provider and FANUC Systems Integrator), IT/OT, 3D scanning, plant layout, R&D, field services, and licensed general contracting. Its core technology combines mechanical, electrical, and software engineering disciplines, supported by FARO Quantum 3D scanning, SolidWorks and RobotStudio simulation, and certified control panel fabrication, with a patent-pending proprietary Scalper (US D888,189 S) and an OEM product line including Dog Ear Saw, Cant Sizer (8V125 & 8H100), Stair Stream CNC, Letdown, Barrel Washer, and Injection Mold tooling.

TriDelta serves industrial manufacturers across lumber and wood products, food and beverage, agriculture, and general industrial sectors, with named projects including a $35 million facility expansion for MANA Nutrition, a dog ear line installation for Abbeville Fiber, and equipment for Premium Peanut. The business model is project-based and quote-driven: revenue derives from one-time custom machinery sales, professional services for automation integration and field installation, engineering and R&D services, and control system integration, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no recurring SaaS or subscription component. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via phone (334-585-1151), website inquiries, and referrals, targeting industrial facilities primarily in the Southeast US with installation reach across the lower 48 states. Ownership remains with the Smith family (founder Benny Smith, VP Operations Billy Smith, VP Sales Chase Smith), with no institutional investor or parent company disclosed.
