WONDERBAR® MINI TRAY

For Products Big and Small

Only Trion WonderBar offers one solution that enables you to consistently face and easily stock virtually any product —hardware, soft goods, coffee, dry goods, air fresheners, light bulbs, pet treats and anything else your customers demand—and increase sales for any category.

For compact product display, or expanding the range of fixtures for extensive families of product sizes, Mini Trays adjust from 3 3/8″ to 6 1/2″ wide, integrate into all WonderBar displays, and mix with all other trays on the same bar.

No Tools Installation

Simple design allows for one man installation in as little as one-tenth the time of tool-requiring, threaded fasteners. Universal Mounts quickly fit into both thick- and thin-walled gondolas, coolers and freezers.

Multiple-Depth Trays

As many as 11 standard tray depths ranging from 15″ to 24″ are available to fit your exact merchandising needs. You can even “waterfall” trays in order to utilize all of your space while not interfering with the air flow curtain in open front coolers.

Adjustable Width Trays

Trays adapt to fit the width of virtually all products and package styles with Oversize, Standard, Dual and Mini Trays accommodating widths from 2 3/4″ all the way up to 171/2″. No other system offers a comparable range!

Shelf Trays

Metal or wire sided trays include pre-installed front and rear anti-skid pads to be used directly on shelves. Our bar trays can also readily swap from shelf to bar as needed.

Quick Replanogramming

Instant lift-out trays speed planogram changes and re-merchandising. Reset as many as 48 facings in as little as 15 minutes. Swap and rearrange facings, and easily create new cross-sells and adjacencies.

Integrated Sign Holder

Horizontal and Vertical Sign holder systems allow easy categorization and promotion of products. Signing features an alignment bridge insuring consistent presentation across long displays.

Tray Label Holders

Tray Label Holders are available to support drop-in, slide-in, and promo clip bib tag labels. All Holders snap directly to the front of all tray styles and sizes.

Spring Tensions

Six spring tensions and up to three mount positions in Standard Trays allow multiple combinations to fine tune push strength to any package style or product weight.

Pusher Heights

Functionality is enhanced with 9 standard pusher paddles sizes up to 63/4″ tall, with dual paddle configurations possible for Oversize or Dual Lane Trays. Imprinted paddles available.

Product Stops

Six standard product stops address your every need with special solutions and adaptors for more demanding package sizes and shapes.

Side Wall Extenders

Side Wall Extenders quickly snap-on to standard metal sidewalls to create taller lanes, better contain tall or oversize packages, and corral stacked items.

Lift-out Rear Loading

Minimize shrink, radically cut stocking labor, and guarantee freshness and customer satisfaction with easy lift-out trays. Load new stock at the back of the tray to insure proper product rotation.

  • Solid side bar trays can be used either on bars or shelves; wire trays for shelf use also available.
  • Hybrid locking anti-sweep hook deters theft.
  • Adjustable tray width addresses the demands of bags, boxes, clamshells, blister packs and oversize packages.
  • Specialized front stops add support.
  • Reduced losses from bag hook tearout.

DAVID R. THALENFELD

Founder, 1919-2009

David R. Thalenfeld, known as “Bud” to family and friends, was a hardworking businessman, devoted family man, and the founder and inspirational leader of Trion Industries. His early business career included running a chain of 5 & dime stores in the New York City region, where he developed his concepts that led to the foundation of Trion Industries in 1965. Formed with two other partners, David eventually bought them out and relocated to Wilkes-Barre PA, where he taught his son John the family business. David was a board member and treasurer of POPAI (Point of Purchase Advertising International) and a founding member of WiFAB (The Wire Fabricators Manufacturers Association), which evolved into the present day PDMF Permanent Display Manufacturers Forum. He was inducted into the POPAI Hall of Fame and held over 88 patents for display innovations.

David served in the U.S. Army Air Corps 11th Bomb Squadron in China during the Second World War, then he attended classes at New School University. His favorite story (and something that is hung up around the Trion offices and factory) is at a business conference, when asked what he wanted to do, his immediate answer was, “I want to have the best factory in the world making what we make and I want to have a lot of fun creating it.”

JOHN S. THALENFELD

President & CEO, 1984-2024

Born in Queens, New York, in 1956, John Thalenfeld has worked his way up the ranks at Trion Industries, first in 1972 as a packer, to the current President and CEO. Being the son of David Thalenfeld, John learned first hand experience working in the family’s 5 & dime store as a child, and later working directly under his father at newly formed Trion.

After attending New York University and Wilkes College, John was a moving force behind relocating the factory to Wilkes Barre PA, and has advanced an environmental stewardship and community and employee engagement agenda unique to Trion.

John passed away unexpectedly in February 2024. All who knew him, his corporate endeavors, and years of involvement in community charitable efforts mourn this unfathomable loss. The corporation’s officers, management, and employees pledge to carry on with all of John’s undertakings in his absence. John would want us to continue serving our customers and our community to the best of our abilities.
