Trim-Tex was founded in 1969 by Joseph Koenig, Sr., a displaced immigrant from Yugoslavia whose goals were to become an American citizen and to be a successful manufacturing entrepreneur. Joe Sr. forever changed the drywall industry that was previously dominated by metal when he invented the vinyl J bead. In 1989 the second generation of the Koenig family, Joseph Koenig, Jr. joined the company to continue in his father’s footsteps. His passion and innovation have been an integral part of the company wide achievement of 50 years in business.
