About Us

On April 11, 1969, Joseph Koenig, Sr., fired up the first extruder making ½” and ⅝” J Beads, pivoting from his previous vinyl siding business and officially giving life to Trim-Tex Drywall Products. More than 50 years later, we still make those J Beads — along with hundreds of other drywall solutions, as well as fire-rated, sound-abating innovations that have changed the way industry professionals think about code compliance.

Trim-Tex corner beads and accessories are the most durable in their class, with unmatched quality standards. Their standardized, efficient install process saves time and material — and our award-winning Customer Solutions team is always here to help.

Through the years, Trim-Tex has grown to its present location in Lincolnwood, IL, and we’ve added another production facility in Miami, FL, and a west-coast distribution warehouse in Orange, CA.

So, yes, a lot has changed since that original extruder started pumping out its first J Beads. One thing has never changed, however: Whether you’re a tradesperson or an architectural designer, a finishing wizard or a weekend warrior, Trim-Tex is in your corner.
