Growth & Values
Over the years, Trillium Engineering has grown significantly, employing some of the industry’s top talent and building a reputation for delivering innovative engineering solutions to even the most complex UAS challenges. Even with its rapid growth, and its 2021 majority shareholder investment from J.F. Lehman, the company remains focused on its founding principles of technical excellence, rapid development, teamwork, and customer satisfaction—all while maintaining its strong employee retention.
Today
Over the last ten years, Trillium's product line has become more diverse. Not only do they solve new UAS challenges, but they appeal to a much larger customer base. Today Trillium is widely recognized as a leading provider in gimbal innovations for Group 1, 2, and 3 UAS in the government, commercial and civil sectors. From the signature HD25, ideal for the micro UAS, to the new HD95 that accommodates the medium-altitude-long-endurance (MALE) UAS, Trillium’s product line continues to set the standard among platforms small and large.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Through the ongoing support from employees and customers, Trillium has bootstrapped a world-class development company in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Located in Hood River, Oregon, (the place where it all began) there is now a larger corporate office in the small, vibrant city known for it's scenery and recreational opportunities. The region is also home to numerous renewable energy and technology companies, making it a strong hub for innovation and sustainability.
