Triad Manufacturing invests $1.78M to expand custom retail display manufacturing facility in Missouri
Triad Manufacturing, a Missouri-based provider of custom retail displays and store fixtures, has announced plans to expand its operations in St. Louis, Missouri. The company, which specializes in design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and installation services for major retail brands, is investing $1.78 million into the project. This expansion will create 32 new jobs and help Triad meet increasing demand for its products.
The expanded facility will enhance Triad’s production capacity, specifically within its wood production department, which manufactures fixtures and furniture for retailers. The company operates over 2 million square feet of manufacturing space and uses a vertically integrated approach to deliver cost-effective, high-quality solutions. Triad is also committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient processes in its operations.
Triad will receive support from the Missouri Department of Economic Development, specifically through the Missouri Works program, which helps businesses expand and retain workers by offering access to capital via withholdings or tax credits for job creation. This program will further bolster the company's ability to invest in its future and strengthen the local economy.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, Bob Hardie, Co-President at Triad Manufacturing, said, “This expansion is an investment in our future and Missouri. The Missouri Department of Economic Development supports this initiative, aiming to drive innovation and strengthen the local economy.”
Governor Mike Kehoe added, “Triad Manufacturing is another example of a quality, Missouri-made employer that’s succeeding as a result of our economic strengths. This company’s ongoing growth speaks to Missouri’s ability to support a long list of top-tier manufacturers. In urban and rural areas alike, our manufacturing industry is thriving and it’s no surprise that businesses like Triad Manufacturing continue to invest and create jobs.”
