Our History
Founded in 1955 by Jim Phillips, Trend quickly became synonymous with routers and router cutters. Trend has also had a strong ethos of innovations, performance and quality which it embodies to this day, and will continue to do so over the next 70 years.
At Trend we have expanded our range to ensure it offers all of the tools required for job completion - never forgetting its core values. Over this year we will be building our graphical timeline to show you where we’ve come from and some of the key points in our history.
About Us
