Trident
Supply Company was started in 1983, with the primary
focus being to take care of the hose assemblies for the
marine industry, specifically the Navy in Jacksonville.
By 1986, we realized the need for a company that
centered around walk-in trade.
There were plenty of companies that
were more than willing to take care of the big businesses in town, but there was not any focused on the
smaller guys. We |
|
| began to promote our counter abilities
to the industry and it became our main focal point very
quickly. Growing quickly, in 1988 we moved into our own
building. |
We look at every customer's problem
as an opportunity for Trident Supply Company and do
everything in our power to make sure we take care of
them in a manner that will bring them back.
By 1996, we had another building
built and moved into our new location. In 1999, in an
effort to better service our customers we put our first
service truck on the road. This is basically a mobile
hydraulic hose and fittings shop. We can go directly to
our customer's problems and fix them on site. This did
well enough for us that in 2001, we put a second truck
on the road. We also opened a branch in Valdosta Georgia
in June 2001. In 2003, we put a third service truck on
the road. We constantly look at how we are servicing our
customers and what we could do to improve.
We have a team of excellent employees
many of which have been with us for more than 10 years.
Experience is a huge factor that is of great benefit to
the customer. We can identify just about any hydraulic
hose or fitting need they may have and come up with a
solution.
The second part of that which is
equally important are the product lines we stock. We are
an Eaton Aeroquip Hydraulic Hose Fittings and Adapters,
Boston Industrial Hose, Weatherhead Brass, Hansen Quick
Disconnects, Dixon Valve and Couplings, Kuriyama Industrial Hose and Fittings, Campbell Industrial
Fittings as well as many other quality lines
distributor.
By offering quality products and
service the customers can feel confident that they are
going to be taken care of properly. We also have 3
locations and 3 service trucks by which to pull
inventory to help satisfy customer needs. Three other
areas that we specialize in are welded metal hose assemblies, gasket material and cut gaskets. Other
companies can provide these services by getting product
in from out of town, but we have a qualified metal hose
assembler and a gasket press in Jacksonville as well as
our Valdosta , Georgia store. This gives us the ability
to offer same day service on rush orders.
Our years of experience are probably
our greatest attribute. We have two gentlemen with over
30 years of experience each. We have six people with
over 20 years of experience. All this experience is very
helpful in identifying the customer needs. 2005 marks 22
years Trident Supply Company has been in business. We
are never satisfied with just maintaining and are
constantly pushing to get better in all areas of
business.
