'A functional and impact-tested solution to properly secure machines and employees'

With the world's largest mesh panel stock spread across several continents, Sweden's Troax is the global leader in industrial mesh walls. Thanks to its own testing and innovation center as well as numerous safety certifications, the company has become a trusted partner for many companies. And has been for 68 years.

Troax was founded in 1955 in Hillerstorp, Sweden, where their main production and distribution center is still located. The company operates in more than 40 countries and is present on all continents. "We have the largest mesh panel stock in the world, which we distribute to our customers from local warehouses. This enables us to serve the market very quickly," confirms Sigrid Herbosch, coordinator internal sales & marketing Benelux. "Both with standard solutions and customized versions, we are at home in various sectors. In the Netherlands from Lisse, in Belgium from our office in Mechelen."

At home in many markets

The list of sectors to which Troax provides its products and services is impressively long. Sigrid explains: "Manufacturing companies, data centers, distribution centers of retail players, transport, pharmaceutical and food companies and storage warehouses... In each of these companies, we see an ever-increasing demand for functional, flexible and affordable solutions to protect machines and robots, to set up secure racking warehouses, and to protect bicycle sheds, storage areas and other business premises against theft. From Troax, we pull out all the stops to develop and manufacture high-quality products, whether or not adapted to customer needs. These include mesh and full sheet panels, complemented by customizable solutions for unique storage areas such as storerooms and basements. For example, a large Belgian transportation company appreciates our solutions to provide additional security for their high rack warehouses, taking into account ceiling sprinkler systems, among other things."

'The original'

With its own testing and innovation center, Troax plays a true pioneering role in its sector. "We meet the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and are the only mesh panel supplier also certified according to the TÜV Rheinland method," indicates Sigrid. "All in-house designed and manufactured solutions that leave our factory are subjected to this official testing method and officially documented. At the same time, we set the bar very high for each of our products, even anticipating rapidly evolving safety directives. For example, there is the Machinery Directive. In the past, machine fencing was not required to be impact tested. From Troax, however, we set the tone, delivering certificates that exceed official safety requirements. We owe that approach to our status as 'the original.'" ■
