Trust Automation, founded in 1990, designs and manufactures custom-engineered motion control, actuation, and electrical power management systems. The company specializes in solutions for demanding industrial and defense environments, where systems must perform reliably under extreme operating conditions. Its work spans multiple sectors, including defense systems, counter-unmanned aircraft systems (cUAS), semiconductor equipment manufacturing, industrial automation, and medical research equipment.
Headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California, the company has operated for over three decades. It was established by four technical experts and maintains a model of tightly integrated design and manufacturing. This unified approach, which includes the use of advanced simulation tools, is intended to eliminate communication barriers between engineering and production teams.
Trust Automation's technical domains cover motion control, actuation, electrical power management, and systems engineering. The company's products are custom-engineered rather than off-the-shelf, developed to meet the specific requirements of each application and client.
