What Trebor International does

Trebor International, Inc. is a West Jordan, Utah-based manufacturer founded in 1979 by Robert Orr that designs and produces ultra-pure fluid handling equipment for semiconductor fabrication and adjacent high-purity industries. Its two principal product categories are high-purity air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps spanning flow rates from 20 LPM (Purus 20) to 255 LPM (Mega 255), and deionized water and chemical heaters built around proprietary thin-film on quartz electric resistive technology, including the Quantum NXT and the recently launched Quantum NXT-R recirculation heater. All products feature all-fluoropolymer (PTFE/PFA) wetted paths with no metallic components in the fluid stream, addressing semiconductor contamination and corrosion requirements.

The company's underlying technology stack includes patented thin-film on quartz heating elements, Stop-Flow on-demand heating, a non-stall/non-centering magnetic shuttle valve, free-floating inverse diaphragm architecture, smart pilot valve feedback, and diffuser head construction for the Evolve 55. Trebor monetizes through direct hardware sales (pumps, heaters, accessories such as pulsation dampeners and fiber-optic leak probes) and through its authorized Signature Service Provider (SSP) network, which performs rebuilds, repairs, warranty work, and post-warranty maintenance. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadences, and products carry 12- or 24-month limited warranties.

Trebor serves a global customer base through a mix of direct sales and an extensive channel partner network spanning North America (Banner Industries across 12 US regions), Europe (S3 Alliance in Germany/Italy/France/Benelux, AxFlow in Austria, Sel-Tek in UK/Ireland), and Asia-Pacific (Ultra-Pro in China/Taiwan, Homwell in China/Taiwan for heaters, Hiro-Tec in Japan, Creative Vision in South Korea, Millice and Advanti in Southeast Asia). The company has been a wholly-owned unit of IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) since May 2000 and maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2002 alongside SEMI S2/S2-0715 semiconductor industry certifications. End markets extend beyond the primary semiconductor segment into LED, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, solar/photovoltaic, flat panel display, food & beverage, and aerospace applications.
