Trio Motion Technology was founded in 1987 as a manufacturer of motion controllers. Today the range, branded Motion Coordinators, can control up to 128 axes of the servo, stepper and piezo motors and hydraulic systems. Trio's expertise in motion programming is based on its Motion-iX technology. Launching the new DX4 servo drive and motor packages now develops Trio's offering into a motion solution and provide motion controllers for automation vendors and system integrators.

The company's headquarter is based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, which also comprises its primary research and development hub. Additional R&D facilities are located in Italy, Bulgaria, and China. Application development teams are located in the UK, USA, Italy, India and China, and a global sales network comprising over 132 partners.

In 2017 Trio was acquired by the Estun Group, supporting Trio in its growth with assistance through shared facilities and R&D as well as financial backing. In addition to the primary global markets, a significant proportion of Trio's business is in China where the company's motion control capability has enabled Estun to become a major player in the China automation market. Despite the presence of the Estun brand, motion control products in China carry Trio branding.
