Trim USA – Since 1978

Trim USA was started by one man with a unique philosophy about decorating with films. In 1978, Rodney Ashby entered the performance films business with a box of pinstripe tape worth $100, calling on car dealerships and offering to stripe cars. Ashby brought a creative approach to this endeavor, developing graphics with the end-use customer in mind. By asking himself, “Who would buy this car?” Ashby created designs that would specifically appeal to the potential customer.

As the business grew, the company added equipment and computer systems in order to provide custom products to meet customers’ needs. In 1984, Trim USA began to manufacture products, eventually introducing their popular AccuCut® vinyl films to the market. Rodney has since retired in 2011 but our philosophy is still the same. Today, Trim USA is well known for quality performance products backed by outstanding customer service and a sales approach that makes a critical difference to customers.

Headquartered in Tobaccoville, NC, Trim USA produces and distributes high quality films, application materials, accessories and tools for the graphics industry. During the last ten years, the company has expanded by adding new products, services and facilities. This has enabled rapid growth while offering solutions unique to each customer’s specific needs.

In every transaction, Trim USA draws upon the latest technologies to offer high performance products that guarantee successful applications.

Our passion for what we do shows!

Service: The Backbone of Success

Every customer expects and appreciates a quality product. But what if they’re not sure which film is right for the application at hand? Or what if they’re not sure how to use it? Solving problems for customers is our primary focus. At Trim USA, we know that every customer has individual needs, unique applications, and unusual problems to solve.

That’s why we believe the service we provide is an integral part of the product we deliver. In every customer transaction, we act as a consultative partner, one dedicated to finding the right product for the customer’s needs. Toward that end, our customer service representatives receive ongoing, intensive training about products and their uses.

Simply put, we’ll help you find the right product for your application. And if it’s not available at Trim USA, we’ll send you to another resource rather than sell you a product that doesn’t fit your needs.

Next to service and speed of delivery, access to technical support is critical in this industry. We know that when you have a rush job, you need the ability to get materials quickly. That’s why our employees treat your job like it’s their own, working hard to maintain a same-day or next day order fulfillment. What’s more, if a problem arises on the job, our customer service specialists are just a phone call away, ready to provide technical assistance.

Technology Driven Expertise

When it comes to technology, we don’t believe in sitting still, or taking the quality of our films for granted. Before we sell a product to a customer, we make sure it meets the very highest standards of construction. At Trim USA, our people are known for their expertise and experience. We understand the requirements of the industry, and challenge ourselves to find more ways to bring value to our customers.
