Trion Coatings, LLC operates in the chemical manufacturing sector with a focus on environmentally friendlier chrome plating technologies. Its SAFE Chrome process uses trivalent chromium and a proprietary ionic liquid solution to deliver faster electroplating, improved wear resistance, and high performance relative to traditional hexavalent chrome, while aiming to address health and safety concerns associated with conventional methods. The company targets industries and customers seeking functional and decorative chrome plating that meets stricter safety and environmental considerations, including partnerships and collaborations with organizations such as the U.S. Army and various industry partners to apply its technology. Based in South Bend, Indiana, Trion emerged from Notre Dame’s IDEA Center and operates through its parent, ILS-Trion, LLC, with ownership ties to Middleburg Capital Development and a minority stake held by Nucor Corporation. A key recent development is the appointment of an Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales in early 2022, reflecting a focus on expanding commercial deployment of its chrome plating technology.
