Lafayette Industries is an affirmative industry that has been providing competitively priced, on-time services to St. Louis area business and industry since 1975. We began with 16 employees and have now grown to employ over 300 people in St. Louis County, Missouri.  In February 2003 we acquired ITE, now known as Lafayette North.  Together both locations employ over 300 employees.

We specialize in custom packaging, assembly and disassembly, order fulfillment, mailings and gift-bow production.

With two locations, our diverse state-of-the-art equipment and more than 85,000 square feet of assembly/warehouse space, we can efficiently handle the jobs that are too costly or time consuming to be done at your company.

As an affirmative industry we employ people with disabilities who bring a variety of productive skills to the work environment.
