In 1969, Lew Daly founded Syracuse Research & Development
Corporation (SR&DC) to supply new product research, engineering, design, development
and prototype capabilities to industry. In 1982, Lew founded Triad as a manufacturing
facility to produce a proprietary line of commercial products designed and developed by
SR&DC. The primary focus of these products was to enable people with infirmities and
disabilities the ability to enter and exit public swimming pools independently. Triad then
expanded its capabilities to develop and manufacture parts and components for outside
industrial clients using the same processes and technology.
Today, Triad has manufacturing operations in Upstate New York occupying over 60,000 square
feet serving clients in the transportation,
simulation, amusement, marine,
electrical enclosure,
recreation, hospitality and
medical device industries. Triad has a broad range of manufacturing
capabilities to fit just about any FRP need. Specializing in "cradle to grave"
manufacturing solutions, Triad is a "full service" manufacturer providing
design, engineering, tooling and production services to its clients.
A segment of Triad's proprietary line of products include the widely
used Easy Ladder® & Transfer Tier®.
The success of these products as been attributed to years of close work with government
entities, universities and institutions as well as other advisory groups focused on
providing accessibility in public places across the nation and in Canada. These products
have set standards for design and function and are used in some training and
educational centers throughout North America as examples of accessibility
solutions. Other Triad products include the Deck
Stor-A-Way® and the ES and GS Bench.
