SULPHUR, La. — TriNova Inc. will invest $9 million to establish a new office and training facility in Sulphur, Louisiana, creating 126 direct new jobs and expanding its ability to serve industrial customers throughout the region.
The new positions will offer an average annual salary of $95,000, approximately 54% above the average Calcasieu Parish wage. TriNova will also retain 31 existing jobs.
Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will generate another 213 indirect jobs, bringing the total potential employment impact to 339 new job opportunities across Southwest Louisiana.
Sulphur Facility Will Expand Technical Training and Industrial Services
The new facility will establish a permanent home for TriNova’s Southwest Louisiana operations, currently based at the SEED Center in Lake Charles.
Dedicated space for hands-on technical training, personalized service and industrial process solutions will increase the company’s capacity to support regional employers. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2028.
“TriNova has built strong relationships with Louisiana’s industrial employers, and this investment brings the company even closer to the customers and communities it serves,” said LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois. “Its decision to grow in Sulphur reflects the confidence companies continue to place in Louisiana as a long-term partner.”
