history
In 1951 the brothers Friedrich and Heinrich Trox founded a company for the production of air diffusers, Gebrüder Trox GmbH . Production began on Heinrich's private property on 110 m². Just two years after it was founded, Heinrich Trox took over his brother's shares in the company and became the sole owner . The TS series ventilation grille was the first product they brought onto the market in 1951. Today TROX holds property rights to more than 450 in-house developments across all product areas. In 1954 TROX already had 75 employees and construction of the production facility and administration in Neukirchen-Vluyn began. Heinrich's sons Heinz and Klaus Trox joined the company in 1960. In the same year, the establishment of its own research and development center for acoustics , fire protection , filter technology and flow technology began.
The first subsidiaries abroad were founded in the 1960s. In 1968 Heinrich Trox, who died two years later, appointed his sons Heinz and Klaus as managing directors. In the 1970s, the company achieved market leadership in Europe. In addition, the product range was expanded in the direction of air-water systems, BUS systems and systems for laboratories.
