These are the objectives that Arne Salvesen had in mind when he acquired ownership of Tronex Technology, Inc. in 1996. He knew that the company, which had been founded in 1982, made excellent products. With hard work, total concentration in the area of precision hand cutting tools, imagination, and an unwillingness to accept lower standard performance, Arne Salvesen set out to make Tronex be the very best in its field.
Tronex utilizes the following elements in its pursuit of excellence:
- Proximity of its factory to the famous Silicon Valley in California to start producing cutters needed by such industry leaders such as IBM, H-P, Motorola, and Intel
- Expand to the growing market outside North America including Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Australia
- Build people strength in the company by sponsoring college education for many of its employees
- Investing in the latest manufacturing technology
- Diversifying into the medical device and jewelry making industries
- Providing customer sales assistance and delivery service that consistently exceed expectations.
