Trimble Inc.
Trimble began by betting on satellite navigation before GPS was a household acronym. Today its harder trick is making a construction site, a 3D model and a freight office behave like parts of the same system.
BLOX
BLOX is a Bessemer, Alabama company that builds hospitals the way Detroit builds cars. Using its own Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) method, BLOX engineers and fabricates complete medical modules - patient rooms, exam rooms, trauma centers, headwalls and bathrooms - inside a million-square-foot former railcar factory, then ships them across the country to be assembled on site. Founded in 2010 out of architecture firm GA Studio, BLOX has grown to roughly 600 employees and bills itself as the largest manufacturer of modular healthcare buildings in the United States.
