Item Description

A little about Trion Industries:
Trion® Industries was started in 1965 as a partnership by three friends who wanted to be in business together, making something different.
David Thalenfeld owned a chain of five-and-dime stores — stores much like the Woolworth Stores of the day. He was therefore familiar with the problems of inventory stocking and displays in the retail environment. He conceived the idea for a pegboard hook which didn’t have to be tilted up to put it in or remove it from the pegboard — the first straight-entry hook. This was the original Spacemaker 100/200 series hook. The design was patented by the partnership and two suppliers were found to produce the wire part, a stamped steel part, and to assemble them. Because it made it much easier to move hooks filled with cards of merchandise, and therefore easier to change displays, Woolworth’s started to buy the hooks and the new business became successful.
The company originally began in Brooklyn. After one and one-half years, one of the original partners left the concern, putting Mr. Thalenfeld and Mr. Rubin in joint control. During this period, the hooks were manufactured by Custom Metal Products of Ridgefield, NJ along with a second firm. Trion designed the products, contracted for their manufacture, warehoused, and sold them.
