Human-centric growth Lafayette Industries specializes in contract packaging and assembly services with a long-standing commitment to employing people with disabilities, signaling a strong social impact story that can differentiate bundled packaging solutions for value-driven brands and retailers seeking inclusive suppliers.

Expanded footprint With three locations in the St. Louis metro area and a workforce of over 400 across those sites, Lafayette offers scalable production capacity and geographic resilience that can support regional to national expansion for clients needing flexible packaging and fulfillment services.

Diversified packaging capabilities Core strengths include retail promotional packaging (shrink wrap, blister pack, carton gluing, clam shell, fin seal), display assembly, medical packaging, and fulfillment, enabling cross-sell opportunities to brands seeking a single vendor for multiple packaging and logistics needs.

Technology and partnerships Adoption of modern tech stack and collaboration with academic and community partners (Webster University training programs for IDD) suggests opportunities to market specialized training-enabled workforce capabilities and turnkey fulfillment advantages to clients with complex compliance or workforce diversity goals.

Financial and growth fit Revenue scale in the 25 to 50 million range positions Lafayette as a mid-market supplier capable of handling mid-sized to large packaging programs, with potential for process improvement partnerships, supply chain optimization, and co-development of pilot programs like STEP UP for mutually beneficial outcomes.
