TRIDENT

Trident South Africa has a long standing history and was founded in 1969 under the name Trident Engineering by Roger Calvert, John Curnick and Richard Curnick. Colin Willliams joined in 1984 to head up the spare parts division and in 1995 Mike Calvert and Tommy Webster joined to start Tridents international sales division. Rob Steel followed in 1997 as technical director. These shareholders have worked side by side and have developed Trident into a well established engineering concern which services many prestigious companies both locally and abroad... In April 2000 Trident purchased the rights for Goodman Technology for the entire continent of Africa. The world rights for the entire range of Eimco Rocker Shovel loaders were also acquired by Trident in 1997. To further expand the products range the assets, including all the intellectual property of Daelian Engineering was acquired in 1998. In May 2001 Trident purchased the joint venture interests held by Bateman Industrial Holdings..
