Our People

The Trench-Tech® Family

Trench-Tech®’s industry leading team is managed and directed by the Gilbert family; a team with combined experience of more than 100 years. In fact, the Trench-Tech® design team engineered the first heavy-duty chain trencher. The Gilberts’ focus has been on the design, manufacturing, and marketing of heavy-duty trenching equipment, and their knowledge and on-the-job expertise is unparalleled as they have traveled to more than 100 countries around the world.  As a result, Trench-Tech® is the most reliable source for the right equipment, technical assistance, and backup spare parts, no matter how remote the job. Setting the standard for heavy-duty rock trenching. That’s the ultimate goal of the Gilbert family, and of Trench-Tech® International.
