ABOUT TRICO POLY SYSTEMS

We Build For People

Trico Poly Systems has its roots from APC (Automatic Process Control). APC was founded in the  late 1950s by a brilliant engineer named August Kraft. Mr. Kraft designed the first “automatic”  cast urethane mixing and dispensing machines.

 

The company started in Elizabeth, NJ and soon  moved to a new building in the next town over, Union, NJ. Mr. Kraft also designed MOOV  
(metering out of vacuum) dispensing machines. These machines mixed and poured epoxy resins with fillers using a piston/cylinder design instead of the bladder pumps and later  precision metering pumps used on the “normal” automatic dispensing machines.

 

Mr. Kraft also designed the tanks used to degass the urethane prepolymer material. First came the Column  Degasser in the 1960s and then the industry work-horse Slinger Degasser in the mid 1980s. Mr.  Kraft was awarded several patents for this equipment. 

Mr. Kraft and the Kraft family ran APC until the early 2000s. In 2006, the company changed  ownership. Three employees of APC got together and purchased APC. The company’s name  was changed to Trico Poly Systems. And yes, “Trico” comes from the three employees!

Today, the company is still owned by the family of one of the three employees, the Plis family.  Trico Poly has nearly 70 years of combined experience designing and building urethane  dispensing equipment. We have over 100 active customers. Let us design a system for you!
