ST. LOUIS — Triad Manufacturing, a Missouri-based provider of custom retail displays and store fixtures, is expanding in St. Louis, investing $1.78 million and creating 32 new jobs. According to the company, the expanded operations will enhance its production capacity to meet rising demand while underscoring its commitment to the local workforce and manufacturing sector.

“Triad Manufacturing is another example of a quality, Missouri-made employer that’s succeeding as a result of our economic strengths,” said Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe. “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.”

Triad partners with major retail brands, offering design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and installation services. The company operates more than 2 million square feet of manufacturing space and specializes in cost-effective and high-quality retail solutions through a vertically integrated approach. Triad is also focused on sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient processes.

“This expansion is an investment in our future and Missouri,” said Bob Hardie, co-president at Triad Manufacturing. “The Missouri Department of Economic Development supports this initiative, aiming to drive innovation and strengthen the local economy.”

Triad’s expansion will increase the capabilities of its wood production department, which produces fixtures and furniture for retailers. The company has partners and employees across the country and world, with operations centralized in North America. Triad consistently develops new partnerships that help customers make the most of emerging markets.

“We’re thrilled to support Triad Manufacturing as it continues to grow, invest, and create new opportunities in St. Louis,” said Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “This company has been helping Missourians prosper there for decades and we’re proud to contribute to its continued success.”

For this expansion, Triad Manufacturing will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
