The inception of Lapeyre Stair came about in 1981, when inventor, J.M. Lapeyre, observed a workman having trouble carrying a piece of equipment down a stair on an offshore oil rig. He went home and sprinkled talcum powder on his feet and walked downstairs leaving footprints on the steps of the stair. He noticed that he only used about half of each tread, alternating from left to right. With this in mind, he decided he could make a safer, more compact stair design. By removing the unused half of each tread, the foot could reach the next tread in a straight, direct line, allowing for more usable tread depth. The Lapeyre^® stair was born.

Since 1981, Lapeyre Stair has continuously supplied its customers with customized stair systems to meet their specific needs. Today, there are over 40,000 Lapeyre^® stairs in use. In addition to the alternating tread stair, Lapeyre Stair also offers conventional metal stairs for industrial and commercial use, and work platforms, all designed and fabricated at company headquarters in Harahan, Louisiana.
