TRCC
Headquartered in Dalton, Georgia, U.S.A, Our company began as a supplier of latex to the emerging tufted carpet and rug industry. As we have grown, so has our global reach. We now export to all continents and have established manufacturing and distribution facilities around the world. Since 1951, we have put our chemical and manufacturing expertise to work in an ever-widening range of industries and technologies. Our mission is to provide innovative solutions, maintain outstanding quality standards and deliver superior service that focuses on our customers’ success.
TRCC is a very strong and highly diversified company with links to many types of industry. What began as a “little latex company” has grown to be an international player in innovative products and technologies delivered around the world. Being a privately held company gives us the ability to move and adjust quickly to changing market conditions. This enables us to innovate and continually bring new products to the market for our customers. For the industries we serve, TRCC spends a higher percentage of income dollars on research and development when compared with much larger private and public companies. By staying on the cutting edge of technology, TRCC offers its customers not just products, but fresh ideas, innovative solutions and outstanding technical service for improved processes and product performance. We believe in our business, we believe in our employees and we believe in our customers.
THE KEYS
The key and foundation to a good and successful business is its employees and its commitment to the local community. We believe in both.
Through our charitable support plus our employee’s volunteer hours to national, state and local charities, we are dedicated to making a difference. Indeed, we take our responsibilities as a corporate citizen seriously.
Joseph E. Willard Memorial Scholarship
The Joseph E. Willard Memorial Scholarship program was established in 1984 in memory of Joe Willard, Chairman Harvey Howalt’s longtime assistant who supported education within the company and the community. Harvey has continued to support this tradition through the scholarship program and other educational programs within the company. For over three decades, we have had the privilege to award this four-year college scholarship to a deserving child of one of our employees.
