NTS was founded by President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald Chilton, who has led the business since 2003. NTS provides mission-critical safety solutions to over 4,000 customers, who look to NTS to provide trench shoring products and solutions for complex, highly engineered projects.
Founded in 1979, TPRC is led by Phil Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer. TPRC provides a range of trench safety solutions including slide rail systems, trench boxes, aluminum shores as well as trench plates, and traffic control equipment.
