Founded in 1955 by Jim Phillips in the United Kingdom, Trend Tool Technology has established itself over seven decades as the British benchmark in router technology. A pioneer from the very beginning—Jim Phillips was the first authorized distributor of plunge routers in the UK, in partnership with Elu—the company has built a global reputation based on innovation, precision, and service.
While other manufacturers seek to cover the entire power tool market, Trend has chosen to specialize. For over 70 years, the company has exclusively developed solutions for routing and woodworking: router bits, routers, jigs, accessories, and CNC machines. This focus has allowed it to achieve a level of expertise that few brands can claim, with over 1,800 router bits currently in its catalog and a range of more than 7,500 tools and accessories.
Trend is now available in over 6,000 retail locations worldwide, with more than 50 million products sold.
Multistation distributes the Trend Yeti CNC SmartBench in France. This large-format, portable, industrial CNC milling machine was originally designed and developed by Yeti Tool, a British company specializing in innovative CNC machines. Trend Tool Technology has taken over the marketing and development of the SmartBench, bringing to the product the logistical strength, global network, and technical expertise of a long-established group.
The result: a machine that benefits from both Yeti Tool’s innovative DNA and Trend’s signature service and reliability guarantees.
