SECO - A Trimble Company

SECO was established in 1977 in response to market demand for new accessories used with the emerging electronic distance measuring systems. By 1980 SECO was manufacturing and distributing high quality land surveying products. In the summer of 2008, Trimble Navigation added SECO to its family of companies and brands. Today, SECO offers a wide variety of accessory products used with surveying, monitoring, GPS/GNSS, GIS, and construction instruments and tools. These include telescopic poles, antenna poles, instrument tripods, prism systems for use with electronic distance meters, construction levels, leveling rods, ANSI-ISEA compliant safety vests, backpacks and much more. SECO products are sold through a world-wide network of instrument dealers and distributors. SECO also builds private-label OEM products. SECO's 82,500 square-foot Redding, California plant is home to a team of over 100 full-time professionals. The plant houses the business headquarters, customer service team, engineering, research-and-development, sales and marketing, and a complete manufacturing facility. The facilities include anodizing, electrostatic powder-painting, and silk-screening departments, as well as a state-of-the-art machine shop. SECO's other facilities include manufacturing complexes in Mound City, Illinois, where popular Tri-Max® instrument tripods and Crain brand leveling rods are manufactured, and Tecate, Mexico where most of the high-quality bags, cases and vests are manufactured.
