New Hampton, IA-March, 2020 - TriMark Corporation – a worldwide leading designer and manufacturer of vehicle access hardware – has earned Caterpillar’s silver-level Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP) certification. This completes the corporate triad as TriMark’s two other divisions (TriMark Europe and TriMark China) have also achieved this level.
Caterpillar created the SQEP to recognize those suppliers who demonstrate their commitment to excellence and drive a “zero defects” culture within their organizations. Certification levels include Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum and reflect an order of increasing difficulty. Suppliers become SQEP certified by meeting or exceeding stringent supplier performance standards, such as product quality and shipping performance, which are measured over the course of a calendar year.
Designed to place special emphasis on performance excellence, the SQEP certification recognizes suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to product quality and service across Caterpillar’s supply base. Additionally, the initiative recognizes a company’s dedication to providing outstanding quality, delivery and cost, and is only presented to suppliers who consistently demonstrate superior performance.
“We are proud and honored to be recognized by Caterpillar with SQEP certification at all three locations said Scott Perkins, the company's Sr. Vice President. Our relationship with Caterpillar is of great importance to us and this certification demonstrates that we are committed to providing excellent products to Caterpillar’s customers around the world"

New Hampton, IA. – February 2009 – TriMark Manufacturing based in New Hampton, IA introduced several new products at the Association of the United States Army's 2009 Winter Symposium and Exposition February 25 – 27, 2009 in Ft Lauderdale FL.
While TriMark has attended this event in the past and has participated in various Symposium sponsored activities, this is the first year for creating an actual display for the Exposition itself. TriMark's Kevin Roths states, "Our involvement in the armored vehicle industry has really expanded just in the past year. We have new systems and products that have been developed specifically for this market and the only way to really show them off is in an exhibit format."
TriMark is taking this opportunity to introduce its COMMANDoor concept which will be featured in a complete and functioning door display. The door fully integrates mechanical blast locks and a primary FMVSS latch with a power-assist actuation and control system to open and close the door for those vehicles with very heavy doors. The inside control handle's unique 2-axis electromechanical design allows for simple and intuitive hand motions by the soldier to activate the open and close action of the door. Additionally, the door's power-assist components are modularized to fit in a compact space below the inside door cover.
One of the programs offered by TriMark that has gained a quick and appreciative acceptance in this industry is the availability of "kitted" door systems. These systems allow a purchaser to utilize a single product number to purchase everything that will be required in terms of access systems for that door.
TriMark will début a new product platform for the armored vehicle market consisting of new exterior door handles and a new internal linkage module, as well as announcing that they have the capability to design and manufacture door support hinges in various duty ratings.
The new HD Rotational L Handle expands the current TriGuard product offering of exterior and interior door handles. This robust L Handle features modular construction that allows for customization, including the use of light weight materials, without sacrificing strength. The handle also allows for the use of a padlock for security.
