Trimble

Trimble was founded in 1978 in Silicon Valley with the aim of commercializing GPS technology. The company develops precision positioning solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds, used by customers to build and maintain infrastructure, optimise global supply chains and map terrain. Its technical work spans GPS technology, precision positioning, geospatial mapping, marine navigation systems, supply chain optimisation and infrastructure construction technology.

The company's earliest products were marine navigation systems, built as it began applying GPS to precise positioning. Today its portfolio centres on precision positioning technology solutions, supported by more than 1,000 active patents. These tools serve professionals across construction, geospatial mapping, transportation logistics, infrastructure and marine navigation.

Trimble employs more than 11,000 people and operates in over 40 countries through more than 150 locations worldwide, giving it more than 45 years of continuous operation. Engineering and technical roles are spread across these markets, working on positioning, mapping and logistics systems for essential industries.

The company describes its founding vision as pioneering the commercialisation of GPS technology, with an internal emphasis on sustained innovation and on enabling professionals to work through complex technical problems in productivity-driven fields.
