Connecting, Not Complicating.
The manufacturing world is full of aggregators that act as "general contractors," adding cost, delays, and a layer of miscommunication between the people who design the parts and the people who make them. This creates friction and stifles innovation.
Trustbridge was founded on a simple principle: direct connection is better.
We facilitate open dialogue between buyers and suppliers, creating transparent partnerships that lead to lower costs, accelerated timelines, and higher quality products. We're not a middleman; we're a matchmaker and a partner.
A Consultative, Hands-On Method
We are not a passive, automated platform. We believe that solving complex manufacturing challenges requires a human touch combined with smart technology. Our approach is built on understanding the unique needs of every project and every partner.
Deep Dive Discovery: We start by understanding your goals, whether you're a buyer needing a part or a supplier looking for work.
Intelligent Matching: Our team personally facilitates introductions between parties, ensuring a strong technical and cultural fit.
Fostering Collaboration: We provide the framework and tools for direct dialogue, empowering you to build lasting, successful partnerships.
More Than a Platform
Our value extends beyond introductions. We enable collaboration at every stage of product development, from concept to production.

From Industry Insight to Innovative Solution
Our story began with 3Diligent, a pioneering venture where we dedicated eight transformative years to connecting hundreds of manufacturers worldwide and working hands-on with thousands of material formulations. This journey exposed us to the intricate realities of production—where creative ideas often face the harsh test of manufacturability. It was here that we learned a vital truth: great design isn’t just about how something looks; it’s about how seamlessly it can be brought to life.
Armed with that insight, we founded Trustbridge — a platform purpose-built to close the gap between inspired concepts and practical, scalable manufacturing solutions. We empower innovators, businesses, and product developers to move from vision to reality without losing sight of performance, cost-efficiency, and market readiness.
Under the visionary leadership of our founder, Cullen Hilkene, whose strategic foresight continues to set our direction, and with Shivam Verma spearheading our design initiatives, we blend creativity with engineering precision. Our team’s deep expertise, cutting-edge tools, and global manufacturing network ensure that every project we touch is optimized, future-ready, and built to excel in real-world conditions.
At Trustbridge, we don’t just design—we engineer possibilities, transform ideas into tangible products, and stand alongside our partners every step of the way.
Backed by Decades of Industry Experience
Trustbridge was founded by the leadership team of 3Diligent, which spent 8 years at the forefront of digital manufacturing. Our team's deep understanding of the supply chain and our work connecting thousands of engineers with the right solutions has been recognized across the industry.
