History

Wade Trim’s roots trace back to 1926 when a small firm was created in Dearborn, Michigan, not far from Henry Ford’s estate, to provide professional engineering services to nearby municipalities. In 1951, a teenage boy named Robert Wade was hired as a part-time drafter and survey assistant. A young engineer named Don Trim was hired in 1964. Growing through hard work and the buyouts of two small firms, Wade Trim emerged under the leadership of Bob and Don in 1968. With a staff of 22, the firm moved to Taylor, Michigan, in 1970.

As work grew in response to changing client needs, our staff and offices grew through acquisitions and new client growth. We geographically diversified to maintain local service by opening offices throughout central and northern Michigan. In 1984, we expanded out of state by opening an office in Florida. Further expansion followed with offices in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Nebraska and North Carolina. Today, Wade Trim employs over 450 people in 20 offices throughout eight states.

Our expertise also grew to provide a full range of professional engineering, planning, surveying, operations and landscape architecture services to meet the infrastructure needs of government and industry.
