Trime

What Trime does

Trime UK Limited is the UK and Ireland sales, distribution, and after-market arm of the Trime Group (Trime s.r.l.), an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of sustainable mobile equipment. Founded circa 2015–2016 and headquartered in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, the UK entity operates a 40,000 sq. ft. purpose-built facility opened in April 2025, while design and manufacturing remain concentrated at parent-group plants near Milan (Cassinetta di Lugagnano and Pavia). The company sells five core product families — lighting towers, power generators, security towers, dust suppression units, and water-treatment/wash-bay systems — with technology spanning diesel, battery, solar, and hybrid configurations unified under the T-ZERO sustainable product platform. Trime claims an installed base that delivers 67,000 tonnes of CO₂ savings per year and reports that 60% of its active rental fleet is green product.

Commercially, Trime operates a B2B capital-equipment sales model monetised through (i) hardware sales of new equipment to equipment-hire companies, construction firms, and event specialists, (ii) recurring aftermarket spare parts (>£1.5m targeted in the current calendar year, distributed via an online trade portal), and (iii) ancillary CPD-accredited training services. Go-to-market combines direct sales (UK regional sales managers plus a Sales Director) with dealer/distributor channels (e.g., Glendun Plant in Northern Ireland) and wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in the Netherlands, USA (Trime U.S.A. via the 2021 FTG Equipment Solutions acquisition), and Asia-Pacific. Anchor customers include Sunbelt Rentals (a stated £12m investment exceeding 1,000 X-SOLAR units plus 11 X-SOLAR SECURITY towers), GAP Hire Solutions, Speedy Hire, Boels Rental, BAM Nuttall, and HIAL; Caterpillar approval as a supplier extends indirect channel reach. Approximately 85% of Trime UK turnover is derived from the hire market. Pricing is quote-based with no published list prices, and spare parts are distributed through a registered-account e-commerce portal.
