Success Story

Allcom attended the Sunnyvale Fair early in 2017. One of the engineers, Aubrey Calder, was interested in what Allcom had to offer and contacted Allcom to see if they would partner with Trimble. The request was for a time-critical basis to design, prototype and then manufacture a customized, proprietary NMO Mount for Trimble specific project. Engineering specs were submitted along with drawings and samples of the initial prototype. The design was agreed upon in the early summer of 2017 and was displayed at the Trimble Small Business Vendor Show in August. As a highly specialized project, this opportunity gave Allcom the expertise to work on similar projects in the future.
