Triad Manufacturing

This custom installation for JD Sports Las Vegas is not something you see every day. A full product slide, return lift system, and conveyor setup were built directly into the space to turn product movement into part of the customer experience. Shoes can be sent from the upper level down the slide, collected below, and returned back up through the lift to keep everything moving.
It’s a seriously unique retail feature that blends engineering, interaction, and visual impact in a way that feels completely unexpected inside a store.

Triad recently celebrated 35 years in business.
A lot has changed since 1991, but the core of who we are hasn’t.
We’re still the team behind the scenes figuring out how to make big ideas actually work.
35 years wouldn’t be possible without the people behind Triad, and we’re incredibly grateful to every employee who has helped build what this company is today.
We’re also incredibly thankful for our customers and partners, including many who have been with us for decades and some since the very beginning.
Here’s to 35 years of great people, strong partnerships, and a whole lot of projects we’re proud to have been part of!

Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a good reminder that a little courtesy on the road goes a long way. 🚛

If you see a truck driver out there this week, give them some extra space, use your blinker, let them merge or change lanes when you can, and avoid hanging out in their blind spots.

Thank you to the drivers who keep products, projects and businesses moving every single day!

Today, we’re celebrating the people behind everything we build.

Every fixture, rollout and retail environment starts with a team willing to solve tough problems and work together to bring our customers’ ideas to life.

From engineering and production to project management, logistics, installation and every team in between, thank you for the work you do every day.

We’re grateful for each of you.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Triad.

Our newest Wood Fabrication Specialist is a little short, but his work is pretty paw-some. Happy National Dog Day from Triad!

We’re honored to support Project Lemonade, an incredible nonprofit in Portland that provides free clothing, shoes, school supplies, and other essentials to youth in foster care, helping them shop with dignity and confidence.

We were introduced to Project Lemonade through Dina Meindl and the team at Let’s Talk Shop! Portland, where Gail Andersen shared more about the organization's mission. After learning about the incredible work they're doing, we were proud to donate Triad water bottles for youth visiting their store.

Seeing our water bottles on the shelves, ready to go home with students during back-to-school shopping, made this one especially meaningful for our team.

When kids enter foster care, something as simple as a brand new backpack, a pair of shoes, or even a reusable water bottle can make a difference.

Thank you to everyone at Project Lemonade for the work you do every day.

If you’re looking for an organization making a real difference, Project Lemonade is one worth supporting. 💛

We’re recognizing Darren Marty, EVP of Customer Experience, for more than 23 years with Triad.

Since joining Triad in 2002, Darren has played an essential role in how we build relationships, support customers, and present our capabilities to the market. He leads the Sales team while also overseeing Marketing and Customer Service, giving him a unique view of the entire customer journey, from the first introduction to ongoing support long after a project is complete.

Darren helps connect what our customers are asking for with the teams responsible for bringing those ideas to life. He works closely across departments to make sure our messaging is accurate, our sales teams have the right tools and information, and our customers receive a consistent experience at every stage. Whether he is guiding a customer conversation, reviewing a new sales resource, supporting a trade show initiative, or helping the team think through how we communicate Triad’s capabilities, his input touches nearly every part of the customer experience.

His role is especially important because he understands both the relationship side of the business and the operational realities behind the work. That perspective helps ensure we are not just making promises, but communicating clearly, setting the right expectations, and building partnerships that last.

Over the past 23+ years, Darren’s leadership, experience, and commitment to our customers have made a lasting impact on Triad’s growth and reputation. Thank you, Darren, for everything you do to support our customers, our teams, and the continued success of Triad.

Does your workplace give out free vegetables? 🥒 Ours does.
Earlier this year, employees came together to build our first Community Garden, creating a space that honors longtime Triad team member Isaac Sabbagh while bringing fresh produce to employees all summer long.

This summer, employees have taken home fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green beans, green peppers, banana peppers, jalapeños and serrano peppers straight from the garden.

As Beth Arrowood, who organized the project, put it:

"It's amazing to see what grows when a community comes together with a little sunshine, a lot of hard work, and plenty of care."

She also shared:

"The garden is doing more than growing vegetables. It's bringing a little summer fun to the workplace, encouraging employee engagement, and giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce."

Thank you to Beth and every employee who helped build, plant, water, w**d and harvest. It's a reminder that sometimes the best workplace perks are the ones you grow together!

Triad works with some of the biggest brands in the world and executes at scale. But working with us doesn’t feel like working with a big company. Small teams. Personal attention. Real accountability. Each account feels like they’re working with a small business. Every customer feels like they’re our only customer. That’s the difference of being 100% employee-owned. We all act like owners because we are.
