TrailRax – Manufactures overland products at top-notch quality in the United States. Its products deliver a unique look for Jeep Wranglers, while at the same time providing extreme functionality. Most Jeep owners love to have their Jeeps fully tricked out and looking cool. While other Jeep owners want functionality. TrailRaX accommodates both. It does this by customizing and manufacturing removable roof racks and bracket systems.
Trimble Tech – A materials-science-based company, not unlike Koch Industries, with a focus on sustainability. To start, the business wants to filter air to harvest phosphorus. This starting point could be beneficial in a few ways: (1) air quality will improve, and (2) phosphorus is a depleting resource needed for farming, so it would be beneficial to harvest the phosphorus for farming while also cleaning the air.
