Exploring Beyond Limits: Our Business Trip to China
At Trifid Automation, vision is our mission. We’re pleased to share highlights from our recent trip to China, where we embarked on a journey with Bekaert, a global leader in steel wire transformation and coating technologies. With over 140 years of expertise, Bekaert’s footprint spans the world, with over 70 production plants and more than 27,000 employees. Known for their innovative solutions, Bekaert is at the forefront of sustainability and mobility, particularly in advanced tire reinforcement technologies.
Collaborating for a Sustainable Future with Bekaert
Our partnership with Bekaert is a key project, and while specific details are protected under a Non-Disclosure Agreement, we can share that this collaboration aligns with our commitment to enabling sustainable, high-performance solutions for industries around the globe. Bekaert’s vision of “establishing the new possible” echoes our own ambitions to push the boundaries of automation and technology. Together, we aim to see beyond the limits and help our customers achieve more.

A Successful Trip with Time to Explore
After a productive and successful visit to Bekaert’s facilities, we treated ourselves to a bit of exploration. We hopped on a high-speed train to Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius. This journey also beautifully coincided with our 15th anniversary, so our co-owner and Technical Director Janko Kacmarik commissioned a custom calligraphy piece with an inspiring message:
"A company is only as good as the people who create it. Their knowledge and courage to push boundaries and overcome their own prejudices define its success. May you prosper, Trifid." Jan Kacmarik
Riding the High-Speed Rail to Explore New Perspectives
Discovering Qufu: The Birthplace of Confucius
This short excursion was the perfect way to reflect on the values of wisdom and insight that guide our work at Trifid. Standing where Confucius once shared his teachings reminded us of the importance of balance—innovation and tradition, progress and reflection. Experiencing China’s culture firsthand was both inspiring and refreshing, allowing us to return to our work with renewed energy and focus.
