Trinity Displays Expands Operations with Repurposed 90,000 Sq. Ft. Facility in Portage, Indiana

5/12/2026

Continued growth in experiential marketing and exhibit fabrication drives move from Chesterton headquarters.

PORTAGE, Ind. — Trinity Displays, a full-service exhibit and experiential fabrication company owned by Marty McGinnis, Robert Swiatek, and Mario Pawinski, has relocated its headquarters from multiple buildings in Chesterton totaling 25,000 square feet to a centralized 90,000-square-foot facility in Portage, Indiana, marking a major milestone in the company’s continued growth.

Completed in February 2026 following a phased transition that began in October 2025, the move brings Trinity’s operations together at 6221 US-6, formerly Lowe’s Home Improvement. The repurposed building now serves as a fully integrated fabrication and production warehouse designed to support the company’s expanding print, fabrication, staging, and logistics operations.

“This move is really about scale,” said Robert Swiatek, co-owner and head of operations. “We’ve grown steadily over the years, and this new space allows us to take on bigger projects, support more clients at once, and continue delivering at the level our partners expect.”

Founded in 2009, Trinity Displays has grown from a small, garage-based business into a national fabrication partner supporting agencies and brands across experiential and trade show programs. Today, the company employs 30 team members across project management, design, engineering, print production, fabrication, and logistics. Its integrated, in-house approach allows teams to collaborate closely from concept through execution, ensuring projects are not only built to match the client’s renderings but are engineered to perform in real-world environments.

In addition to custom exhibits and experiential builds, Trinity provides portable displays and large-format graphic production. Interior branding capabilities include custom printed wallpaper, environmental graphics, branded spaces, and interactive technology.

The expanded Portage facility significantly enhances Trinity’s capabilities. Dedicated areas for custom fabrication and dedicated setup area, combined with a centralized large-format print operation, allow for greater efficiency and production output. Increased warehouse capacity supports a growing inventory of modular systems and rental assets, while a new 3- bay loading dock system streamlines freight and logistics for nationwide shipping.

The additional space is already making an impact. Earlier this year, Trinity produced and staged multiple large-scale activations for both the Men’s and Women’s Final Four Fan Fests, with exhibit footprints ranging from 20-by-40 feet to more than 140-by-50 feet. For the first time, the company was able to fabricate, print, stage, and review multiple large scale environments under one roof, streamlining production and improving coordination across every phase of the build process before deployment onsite.

“We’ve seen a big increase in clients asking for custom rental solutions,” said Marty McGinnis, co-owner and head of business development. “They want something that looks custom without the commitment of purchasing. This facility gives us the space to store the inventory, build, and manage those environments at a much larger scale.”

In response to this shift, Trinity has expanded its custom hybrid rental offerings and invested in modular exhibit systems such as Aluvision and ModTruss, allowing for scalable, reusable environments that can adapt across multiple programs. Recent work includes an immersive brand takeover with the Eggo House of Pancakes in Gatlinburg, the full conference installation for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2025 in Indianapolis, and a range of custom exhibits and touring activations for national brands and agency partners.

While the company’s capabilities have grown, its approach remains rooted in its early beginnings. Founded by a group of friends who started the business in a garage, Trinity continues to operate with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset. Every project is approached as a full-service solution, with teams taking ownership from initial concept through fabrication, logistics, installation, and post-event support.

The move from Chesterton to Portage reflects both Trinity’s growth and its commitment to remaining in Northwest Indiana. The region’s proximity to Chicago, combined with its central location within the United States, allows the company to efficiently service clients nationwide. Portage also offers strong access to major transportation routes and is within a short drive of Indianapolis, one of the country’s leading hubs for large-scale conventions and events.

“This building gives us the foundation for what’s next,” said McGinnis. “We’re focused on continuing to grow with our clients, take on new challenges, and keep pushing what’s possible in this industry.”
