Custom power distribution and backup systems for utilities, data centers, and enterprise
Trystar manufactures specialized power solutions—distribution equipment, load banks, inverters, and temporary generators—for utilities, data centers, healthcare, and government. The hiring surge is heavily skewed toward manufacturing (68 roles) and engineering (55), with a flat seniority mix across junior, mid, and senior levels, suggesting both greenfield hiring and retention challenges as the company scales production capacity and product lines. Active projects center on reducing engineering cycle time and improving custom quoting, indicating internal friction between design complexity and order fulfillment speed.
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Faribault, MN, Trystar designs and manufactures power solutions tailored to specific customer requirements across utilities, data centers, healthcare, entertainment, education, government, and commercial construction. The company operates five manufacturing and service facilities across the US (Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, New Hampshire, Tennessee) and powers its Faribault headquarters with its own solar and wind microgrid. The core product portfolio spans power distribution systems, emergency backup generators, load banks, battery inverters, and portable power distribution equipment, serving customers who require high reliability and customization.
Trystar uses Epicor ERP, WMS/TMS systems, Salesforce for sales, SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design, Micrometer for monitoring, and PLC/industrial controls. Manufacturing integrates MIG welding and ADP for payroll.
