Trimble – Transforming the Way the World Works

Trimble is a leading technology solutions provider that enables office and mobile professionals to connect their workflows and asset lifecycles to drive a more productive, sustainable future. With a focus on the industries that feed, build, and move the world, the comprehensive depth and breadth of our solutions is transforming the way the world works, making it easier for Trimble customers to focus on what matters—getting the job done right.We innovate at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds with solutions that span the world’s foundational industries including building, civil and infrastructure construction, geospatial, survey and mapping, agriculture, natural resources, utilities, transportation, and government.We exist to empower our customers: asset owners, general and specialty contractors, engineers and designers, surveyors, agricultural companies and farmers, energy and utility companies, shippers and carriers of freight, as well as state, federal, and municipal governments.Productivity and sustainability are at the heart of who we are—it’s woven into our work internally and through our customers’ application of our technologies. The state of the world today requires us to adopt a strategic approach to the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of our business. We have reduced our impact on the environment, we have improved employee engagement, and we are committed to maintaining the highest levels of transparency. These efforts make us a better, more resilient company and motivate us to continue innovating, so our customers and stakeholders can work better, safer, faster, cheaper and greener.
