About TRL
TRL Automatisierungstechnik und EDV Systemlösungen GmbH was founded in 1990 as an engineering office for mechanical engineering and software development and specialises in CNC machines for shoe last manufacturing. The family-owned company, headquartered in Lemberg (Rhineland-Palatinate), develops, produces and sells CNC last milling machines, CNC digitising machines, and CAD/CAM and 3D software. The machines mill shoe lasts and orthopaedic lasts from wood, plastic and hard foam completely finished, without time-consuming post-processing – from one-off production to series production. With the LM-01 MAX, models up to 1000 mm in height and 500 mm in diameter can be machined; the LM-04 mills four individual shoe lasts simultaneously in 3 minutes. Customers include shoemakers, orthopaedic shoemakers, last modellers, last factories and manufacturers of bespoke shoes; the machines are in use worldwide.
