Trident Marine Systems was founded by Bill Shields in 1985 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Before starting his own business, Bill worked for the United States Coast Guard as a search and rescue (SAR) officer and pilot. This provided intensive experience in the marine environment, boat safety, and the results of being away. After working for his family’s company, Shield’s Rubber, he left and started his own company, which would become Trident Marine, a company with a focus on marine quality, performance, durability, reliability, compliance, and excellence. In other words, Trident was founded with the long-term safety of boaters in mind.
Today, Trident Marine is a company that continues to grow successfully, offering only high-quality marine vessels and related products.
