TriMark Enjoys a Successful
UMA Motorcoach Expo



Once again TriMark products were a hit with many of the 2,000+ national and international attendees at the most recent UMA Motorcoach Expo held in Tampa this past January. TriMark displayed a wide-range of innovative products developed for the Bus/Motorcoach and Mass Transit markets in the US and Europe. On display was a wide range of innovative products -- handles, latches, striker bolts, linkages and related system components of truly exceptional quality. This is why so many OEM's think TriMark's door hardware door systems are "special."

In-line with its overall business strategy and based to a large degree on its comprehensive and well-accepted products for the RV industry, TriMark continues to broaden its aggressive expansion into the Bus and Motor Coach market. Several aspects of this growth market are similar to (RVs) such as chassis, baggage doors, entrance doors and rear engine covers. In addition, TriMark is expanding its product offerings to include ignitions, keyless entry, rear engine and handicap door latching solutions and compression locks. TriMark's willingness to customize and provide application engineering has already provided customers new solutions for their access needs.

It's Shaping Up to be An Exciting Year at TriMark

 


We are just a few months into the New Year and it is already looking like 2011 will be a busy one for TriMark as well as our customers. While there is no magic in the turning of the calendar from one year to the next, there is a certain level of hope and expectation that the New Year will bring better things for us all. The following is a short list of what is happening at TriMark and in the markets we serve:

  • In 2011, TriMark will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary. Look for additional information on some of the activities we have planned for the year to celebrate this milestone with the people who made it possible – TriMark employees and our loyal customers.
  • Customer Survey – we recently completed a Customer Survey which was very helpful in identifying areas where TriMark meets or exceeds customer's expectations as well as areas where we need to expend some energy in improving our performance. Thank you to all who participated and special thanks to those of you who agreed to be contacted in the future for special research projects.
  • TriMark recently participated in the UMA Motor Coach Expo in Tampa and once again it was a very productive show for TriMark. We continue to build awareness and relevancy with potential customers in this growing market segment. We are also forming some very good "friendships" with complementary suppliers which are win-win situations for all concerned.
  • One area we watch very closely is the availability and costs of raw materials. At this time we are seeing some storm clouds on the horizon driven to a large degree by the price of fuel.
  • Business dynamics – several months ago I mentioned that we were working diligently to get our supply and demand back in "sync." While we have made good strides in this area, we are now seeing a different type of dynamic from suppliers and customers. We have suppliers who are passing along price increases and at the same time our customers are requesting that we hold the line.


Here's hoping you have a great and prosperous 2011!

General Manager

TriMark is a Leader in Providing Electronic Solutions for On and Off-Road Applications

 


We all know how the application of electronics technology is changing the way we live and work. TriMark has been one of the leaders and innovators in using electronics as a way so provide convenience and security to many of their access solutions.

One of TriMark's strategic strengths is the ability to provide complete door systems; our keyless access control system adds a further dimension of functionality, convenience and security to our systems. This selection of compatible components allows for complete keyless entry for on or off-highway vehicle applications. Our product platforms range from latches, handles and linkages for mechanical products and RF transmitter FOBs, keypads, I/O modules, power lock actuators and a wide variety of accessories for electronic products.

If security and convenience are two major attributes your customers demand, then TriMark is the answer. Full functionality and state-of-the-art design and manufacturing means you can depend on TriMark electronics to be working many years down the road.

e-ASK

TriMark is featuring its successful e-ASK (electronic Access and Security Keyless-entry) products in Booth 3621 at the upcoming Work Truck Show in Indianapolis from March 8 – 10, 2011. The exhibit will feature TriMark's popular mechanical and electronic products and includes keyless entry, power latch release and control of lighting, horns, sirens, sensors, motorized actuators and solenoids.

Our ambition is to make access and use of the vehicle easier and safer thanks to our products. Considering the needs of both the OEM's and the end users, TriMark develops mechanical and electrical system solutions that are useful, beneficial and add value to our customers' products. TriMark systems are now able to communicate with common multiplexing protocols of on and off-road vehicles as well as providing integration with vehicle security systems. This approach promotes OEM systems integration and ultimately creates increased productivity and an enhanced end-user experience.

e-FOB Transmitter

Several options are available for e-FOB's that are compatible with most TriMark e-ASK keyless entry systems:

  • Value priced 2 button FOB and 2 button wall mount provides freedom and convenience of placement for remote
  • 2 Button key head FOB packages the ignition key inside the FOB for convenience
  • 4-Button FOB is available in a standard and a cargo mode to allow for either traditional automotive features or independent control of main entrance vs. compartment doors. A sustained mode is also available that provides a continuous output control for various auxiliary functions.
  • High security – code hopping technology offers reliable radio frequency (RF) transmission and is FCC-Part 15 certified

Keypads

TriMark's user-friendly keypad systems provide visual, audible and touch feedback. Keypads can be mounted horizontally, vertically, and with means to protect against vandalism and other tampering. This integrated system offers increased security, convenience and functionality with reduced system installation complexity and lower installation costs.

One of TriMark's new products areas is the e-PAD Keypad with Relays. This stand alone keypad will provide cost-effective and simple power door lock/door latch control. The keypad will provide increased security and convenience with limited functionality to minimize system and installation cost. Demanding users in the travel trailer, tool box, and low end motorized RV market will appreciate the high-end functionality at a value price.

Power Lock Actuators

TriMark has several high quality power door lock actuators available with a variety of features and configurations. The actuators have been tested and validated to meet stringent requirements thus insuring a long life of trouble free operation.

TriMark power actuators are designed for TriMark handles and latches designed to perform a push/pull function and they are easy to install either by integrating mounting directly into available TriMark latches and paddles or with universal hardware parts for flexibility. High output versions are also available for latch actuation featuring power release.

Mechatronic Systems

Upgraded complete mechatronic door systems can include other user interfaces, such as keypads or RFID and additional security system peripherals. Kits are available and can include handles, latches and electronic accessories including custom wiring harnesses, relays, switches, door contacts, actuators, mounting hardware, sirens and lighting to provide a comprehensive electro-mechanical access solution.

Convenience and Security are Hallmarks of KeyOne Plus

 

TriMark offers a single-key locking solution for the operation of multiple locking products on a vehicle.

Features/Benefits:

  • The "One Key - One Vehicle" program - provides the OEM the opportunity to line sequence the key code requirements without having to order key cylinders or hardware kits keyed alike in advance of build requirements. System allows the use of the same lock cylinder for multiple TriMark product's, keeping the lock part numbers to a minimum
  • Modular KeyOne Plus locking solution can be extended to include ignition locks, fuel caps and other points of access that would benefit from sharing lock cylinders and key code coordination. Main product (handles) can be purchased in bulk at larger quantity or use fewer part numbers by keying at the customer end
  • Automotive-style lock with a larger body diameter for enhanced security features a high quality shutter system and perimeter waterproof seal that is water resistant - double seals reduces the infiltration of dirt and water into the lock
  • Available in a wide variety of codes which allows the customer flexibility in keying a unit alike. To protect overall security, KeyOne Plus can be keyed differently for each individual unit.
  • Provides the ability to service, replace or upgrade the lock cylinder at any time offering OEM's, dealers, service technician's and end users the option to adjust the level of security and convenience or replace in the event of lost keys or lock cylinder failure - no disassembly of the product or door is required

Because the handles/latches, locks and keys are supplied separately, you can order exactly what you want and need, with corresponding volumes that suit your specific requirements, promoting product value through increased efficiency, economies of scale, reduction of inventory and purchased part numbers.
