JUNE 2026 has supplied 15-to-20 buildings to that same group, and “today we’re ice fishing together.” “Our business model is built on relationships,” Joe says. “That’s how we’ve grown our company.” Moving forward, Joe says that’s how they will continue to grow their company. Their goal now isn’t “growth for its own sake,” but to instead become more efficient in order to provide their clients with the best service possible. To that end, Tria Products has embarked on a significant expansion of their physical infrastructure. The company is currently constructing a 40,000 to 50,000 square foot addition to its steel fabrication facility, which will allow it to bring production currently being handled by two rented shops back in-house. Once complete, the new space will absorb roughly 50 additional workers – not new hires, Joe clarifies, but people already working for Tria through outside arrangements who will simply be brought under the same roof. “We’ve been subcontracting out work that we’re normally very efficient at doing ourselves,” Joe says. “The goal is to get that back in-house, get more organized, and get more efficient with what we’re already doing.” Following the steel fabrication expansion, the next major initiative is a purpose-built facility to house the company’s entire precast concrete manufacturing division. That project is targeted for completion by 2028 or 2029, and it represents the final step in consolidating Tria Products’ three interconnected business lines under a single, fully self-sufficient operation. That future looks very different from operating a pig farm in rural Manitoba, but Joe reiterates that he and his brothers are still guided by the same family values that guided them back then – and he’s confident that won’t change. “Once you come from a family-rooted background, from agriculture, from a small community,” Joe says, “a lot of that falls together naturally in how you build relationships and build a business. It’s who we are.”
