What Trask Decrow Machinery does

Trask-Decrow Machinery, Inc. (TDM) is a privately held industrial equipment distributor and service provider founded in 1983 and headquartered in a 25,000 square foot facility on an 8.5 acre parcel in Scarborough, Maine. The company distributes and services industrial pumps, compressed air systems, and portable equipment across all six New England states plus New York, holding sole authorized distributorship for premium brands including Weir Specialty Pumps (Floway, Wemco, Roto-Jet, Warman), Grundfos, Sulzer, Flygt, Carver, Börger, and Bobcat/Doosan portable equipment. TDM also manufactures a proprietary line of DryAIR aftercoolers for portable compressors, sold under its own sub-brand with a standalone website (getdryair.com).

The company's revenue is generated through five primary streams: one-time equipment sales of pumps and portable compressors, recurring equipment rentals (available 24/7/365), professional service and repair including 24-hour emergency support, OEM parts and accessories, and financing/leasing assistance. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales via regional representatives across New England with inside sales support, complemented by industry trade show presence (NSAA National Convention, The Rental Show) and earned media in trade publications such as SAM Magazine. The customer base is horizontally diversified across ski resorts and snowmaking operators (a core specialty since founding, with installations worldwide), municipal and industrial water/wastewater operators, construction and industrial contractors, food and beverage processors, power generation, pulp and paper, and agriculture.

TDM is management-owned by a four-person ownership team formed in 2001 (Charles R. Decrow as CEO, Greg M. Scott as VP of Sales, Ralph A. Wallace as CFO, and Jason C. Decrow as Service Manager), with no institutional, venture, or private equity backing evidenced. The company has pursued a deliberate strategic refocus over time, most notably divesting its plant air compressor business to Ingersoll-Rand in 2017, expanding its pump portfolio through successive distributor authorizations (Pentair 2009, Weir 2010, Grundfos/Peerless/PACO 2011), and building authorized service and repair center designations for premium brands across the New England territory.
