The seeds of the company now known as Trencor were sown in 1945 in Alhambra, Calif., with the establishment of the Jiffy Excavator Tooth Company, which later became known as Dallas Jetco. In 1981, Trencher Corporation of America (Trencor) was established in Grand Prairie, Tex. The company manufactured chain type trenchers, while Dallas Jetco specialized in wheel trenchers. Trencor purchased Dallas Jetco in 1984 and changed the name of the combined operation to Trencor Jetco. Four years later, Astec Industries, Inc., acquired the thriving business, and provided additional resources for capital investment and growth. The company moved to the Grapevine, Tex., location in 1994, and shortened its name to Trencor. Manufacuring operations moved to Loudon, Tennessee in 2003.
Trencor machines are supported through a dedicated parts and service center, available 24-hours a day to help customers minimize downtime and get needed repair parts. And
