Triple E

What Triple E does

Triple E Limited is a UK-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 1984 by David Edelstein in Biggin Hill, Kent, designing, manufacturing, and installing track systems, modular structural systems, and stage hardware for the global entertainment industry. Its core product range comprises seven proprietary track systems (2Way walkalong, Erail, UniTrack, ChainTrack, ChainRail, ChainBeam chain-driven, and the flagship UniBeam with a 1070 kg/m uniform distributed load rating), complemented by Track Drive Systems motors (SDrive, TDrive, TracDrive) handling loads up to 400 kg, variable acoustic solutions (VariBanner, VariRoller), the UniJack heavy-scenery mover, the award-winning Original Loose Pin Hinge, and fabric accessories. The company also distributes B*EEE*M (a British-made metric modular structural system in 250x250mm and 125x250mm cross-sections) and is the UK and European distributor for ModTruss (an imperial aluminium modular structural system). Underlying technology is rooted in precision CNC-machined aluminium and steel extrusions, chain-drive kinematics, and modular mechanical interfaces engineered for silent operation, high load capacity, and quick reconfiguration.

The business operates a hybrid direct-and-channel go-to-market model. Direct enterprise sales combine with global distribution via exclusive or lead-seller partners across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and North America (J&C Joel Middle East for GCC, Rose Brand for North America, Theatre Safe Australia, Spearpoint for BEEEM in ANZ, Tokyo Velludo, MTI Norge, PSI Production for Ireland/Scotland). Revenue is generated from hardware sales of track and structural systems (multiple SKUs), installation, inspection, and compliance services through wholly-owned subsidiary EEE Build Ltd (founded 2020), and precision-engineering services from an in-house CNC machine shop (milling, turning, profiling of aluminium, steel, plastics, composites). Pricing is quote-based with ProForma terms for new buyers and Net 30 credit for established accounts; specialty motor pricing was unbundled in 2023. Supply chain is 95% UK-based, with the remainder sourced from the EU, supporting short lead times.

Triple E operates with 11–50 employees (54% headcount growth reported under current leadership since 2022) and reports an audited 43% turnover increase over the same period. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, "Made in Britain" accreditation, PLASA and ABTT (Silver ISG) memberships, and has won six ABTT Product of the Year Awards (1984, 2015, 2025 among them). The customer base spans performing-arts venues (Royal Opera House, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Battersea Arts Centre, Polish National Radio Symphony, CBSO Centre), film and live events (Chunky Move, Aviva Studios/Factory International), festivals (Glastonbury/Greenpeace), exhibitions (Nimlok), education (American Community School Abu Dhabi), government training (Thames Valley Police), and residential architect projects (Giuliani Architects at Solaire House). Lucy Edelstein succeeded David and Brenda Edelstein as Managing Director in January 2022, moving the founders into consultancy roles; ownership remains concentrated within the founding family, with no disclosed external private-equity or venture-capital investment.
