Efficiency Production remains “America's Trench Box Builder,” and no product names or branding will alter under Trinity Shoring Products' administration.

On July 14, 2017, Trinity Shoring Products, Inc., through a subsidiary, acquired all substantial assets of Efficiency Production Inc. Trinity will continue to operate the 46-year-old trench shielding and shoring manufacturer under their primary name, Efficiency Production.

Trinity Shoring Products currently operates within the trench shoring and shielding market under the brands of Pro-Tec Equipment and GME, which Trinity acquired in a 2004 merger. Efficiency Production will continue to operate separately under its current brand name with no changes in personnel or point-of-contact for customers. Additionally, the acquisition will have no effect on the business operations or personnel at Pro-Tec or GME.

“Efficiency Production is one of the country's leading trench shoring manufacturers, and we are very excited to bring their strong brand name and manufacturing capability into Trinity Shoring Products' family of businesses,” said Joe Zylman, President of Trinity Shoring Products. “We believe this acquisition is a positive step in positioning both Efficiency and Trinity for continued growth and product innovation.”

Efficiency Production's operations will be overseen by Rod Austin, the company's previously titled vice president of sales, now general manager. “Our number one goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible for our dealers and customers,” said Austin. “We are very pleased with the level of understanding our new owners have for the needs of our customers, and our intent is to continue our high level of customer support.”

Assuming the head of Efficiency's sales department will be Al Baron with the new title national sales manager. Baron has been a shoring specialist in the company's Special Operations Shoring Division for the past four years.

Efficiency's North American and International dealer partners were sent notices last week that all design and engineering support, as well as Slide Rail installation assistance, will remain the same as before the acquisition. All customers were advised to continue communicating with their existing Efficiency Production sales and rental representative.

All manufacturing operations will remain at the company's 685 Hull Road, Mason, Michigan (48854) headquarters. Efficiency's toll-free number, 800-552-8800; business telephone number, 517-676-8800; and fax number, 517-676-0373, remain the same. The company's website address, www.efficiencyproduction.com, also will not change, though all personnel will now have an email address composed as first.last@trin.net.

Efficiency Production remains “America's Trench Box Builder,” and no product names or branding will alter under Trinity Shoring Products' administration. Any technical or engineering documents such as P.E.-stamped Tabulated Data remain valid with existing documentation.

Trinity Shoring Products, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dallas-based Trinity Industries, Inc. Trinity is a publicly traded, multi-industry company that owns a variety of market-leading businesses in the industrial, energy, transportation, and construction industries.
