MADE IN THE WORLD
Troax’ biggest and most important production unit is in Hillerstorp, Sweden. This is a highly automated and in many ways industry-leading factory. We control production from here according to customer orders, applying Lean production techniques, along with a simple, integrated production process.
Troax constantly seeks to boost efficiency and improve the production process, along with the logistics structure. We make continuous investments to improve our capacity, cut delivery times and boost flexibility for the customer. Hillerstorp produces over 1,000,000 meters of metal-based mesh panels every year. Apart from Hillerstorp, we also have production units in Birmingham (UK), Shanghai (China), Bulciago (Italy), Chicago (USA), and Sroda (Poland).
TROAX TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
Honesty, integrity and legal compliance are major elements of our corporate structure, and the work we do. Our aim is to work sustainably and long-term with our environmental goals, and to monitor them carefully. We protect people, property and processes, but also the planet.
