LONG BEACH, Miss. — Triton, an ATM manufacturer that began making primarily cash dispensing machines and which has since sought to branch out to serve credit unions and community banks, was one of the manufacturers hit hard when Hurricane Katrina came ashore in late August 2005.
The company's central manufacturing facility in Long Beach was forced to close for a time and many of the communities it serves were also heavily damaged. Triton commemorated the recovery from the storm with a donation of one of its top of the line ATMs to an area credit union.
Triton donated a new ATM to the $1.5 billion Keesler Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. Keesler serves an area that was among the most damaged by Katrina.

Keesler FCU, which Triton employees are eligible to join, is the largest credit union in the state with more than 185,000 members and 13 branches in South Mississippi. The donated unit, an FT7000, went into production last month and is Triton's first full-function, through-the-wall ATM designed for financial
institutions.
"Because the Mississippi Gulf Coast is our home, we understand first hand the hardships that the people and businesses of this region have suffered since Katrina," said Triton President Brian Kett. "We are proud to be a part of the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast."
