About TR-Electronic GmbH

TR-Electronic is a German maker of sensors and actuators for industrial automation, headquartered in Trossingen and founded in 1983 in Villingen-Schwenningen to develop absolute rotary encoders. Its official company pages describe a measurement and control portfolio built around rotary encoders, linear encoders and compact drives: the encoTRive drive family integrates motor, gearbox and control electronics, while magnetostrictive and cable-length linear encoders cover contactless and draw-wire position measurement, and newer miniature SIL-rated encoders address functional safety in small installation spaces. Beyond sensors, the company offers customised control technology, industrial PCs, controls and sensor systems for punching and forming, plus retrofit and new-system engineering.

TR-Electronic says its products are used worldwide, with mechanical and plant engineering as its most important customer industry and applications in logistics, paper, printing and packaging, metalworking, woodworking and plastics processing, event technology and renewable energies. Alongside Trossingen, subsidiaries and technical sales partners in Europe, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Asia — including a Beijing sales subsidiary established in 2010 — provide local advice and project planning. For directory partners, TR-Electronic is an encoder and compact-drive supplier for machine builders that want measurement, drive and control components engineered in one Swabian development centre and supported close to production sites worldwide.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
