We are proud to share a new video that offers a look inside our advanced manufacturing facility right here in San Luis Obispo. You’ll see how local talent and innovation come together to produce American made products that lead the industry in motion control and actuation, electrical power management, and process automation sub-systems. Beyond manufacturing, we believe in building community. Our roots on the Central Coast run deep, and we are committed to giving through the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. Watch the video to see what we’re building together and follow our page for more updates. Interested in a tour or partnership?

We are proud to share some video from the field, where our RD-SUADS unit – part of Trust’s Counter-UAS Airspace Protection suite – is supporting the Joint Multi-Domain Counter-sUAS Course (JDMCC) in Germany. This unit was built and delivered specifically for this mission. The Rapid Deploy RD-SUADS provides both detection and defeat for large-area C-UAS protection especially in remote or infrastructure-limited environments. It’s transportable, self-contained and operational within hours, with its own power, cooling, and operator station. Advanced sensors and fusion software cue integrated EW and jammers, with optional dual gimbals and jammers to extend coverage for C2 and GNSS disruption. The training tests the integration of the JDMCC into the 7th Army Training Command (7th ATC) infrastructure at Grafenwoehr, Germany, aiming to increase student throughput, integrate kinetic capabilities, and refine tactics in real time. It’s an honor to see our system contributing to this critical mission and helping prepare our joint forces for contested airspace. Trust’s SUADS program is backed by a 5-year IDIQ contract, is the Air Force’s Program of Record, and is now rapidly expanding across all branches. Watch the video to see RD-SUADS deployed in the field. https://lnkd.in/gfZPJnM6 #CounterUAS #AirSpaceProtection #SUADS #JDMCC

It was an honor to participate in the Workday “Workforce Ready: An Executive Forum on the Future of Talent and Artificial Intelligence,” hosted by Workday, Bank of America, and Reach. The discussion was centered on a critical topic for our community: closing the skills gap on the Central Coast through reskilling and upskilling. It explored how strategic initiatives can build a stronger, more prepared local workforce. Our own Ty Safreno spoke on Trust’s hiring momentum and commitment to local talent. “Since January, we’ve hired 50 people and we’re on track to hire another 50 over the next 12 months. We’re focusing on underserved graduating seniors in San Luis Obispo County, teaching them life skills in addition to skills centered around our Advanced Manufacturing processes.” Events like these are important in aligning education, industry, and community goals to create a prosperous future for the Central Coast. #FutureOfWork #TalentDevelopment #CentralCoast #Community #Upskilling #EarlyCareer #WorkforceDevelopment

There's nothing quite like the magic of Halloween, especially when it brings our community together! 🎃 Today, we hosted our annual Trunk or Treat, and it was a joy to see the excited faces of the children from Trust Children's Center as they made the short walk over. Our incredible Trust Automation employees truly outdid themselves with extravagant costumes and creatively themed trunks filled with treats. 👻 This tradition is a favorite for everyone involved—the kids, the teachers, and our team. It perfectly captures the joy and connection that make our culture and community so special. A heartfelt thank you to all the Trust employees and TCC teachers who poured their hearts and creativity into making this day so special for the children. Your enthusiasm and effort are what make this event so memorable. 🍬 #TrustAutomation #TrustChildrensCenter #TrunkOrTreat #Community #Halloween #CorporateCulture
