Trevor Philips Enterprises (also variously referred to as Trevor Philips Enterprise, Trevor Philips Industries, Trevor Philips Corporation, TPI Conglomerate, TP Conglomerate, TP Inc. and TP Consumer Products) was a business in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online ran by Trevor Philips which is a company that deals with arms and drug dealing syndicates, and occasionally with oil business.
Overview[]
Very little is known about the business other than it was formed at some point prior to the original contact missions storyline of Grand Theft Auto Online from 2013, expanded greatly during the events of Grand Theft Auto V, and remained active through the events of Grand Theft Auto Online up to 2022.
The group deals mainly with drugs, although Trevor wants to expand the guns trade by shipping firearms to the drug cartels in Mexico. Even though Trevor calls it an Enterprise or Industry, it's run mainly by four people: Trevor who is the CEO and muscle, Wade Hebert who provides information and some muscle, Chef who cooks meth and is used as muscle occasionally, and Ron Jakowski who works as his operations chief, informant and pilot (although on a rookie level). The GTA Online Protagonist and some rednecks are usually hired as muscle, guards or operatives.
It is a violent rival of The Lost MC, the Aztecas, the O'Neil Brothers and the Triads. Most of the rivals are weakened or wiped out by the much smaller TP Enterprises by the end of the game.
The company vehicles are Trevor's Bodhi, a couple of Blazers (both with custom license plates), a Sanchez and a Frogger with "TP Industries" and some other writing and pictures. This helicopter is revealed to be the same one used to capture Mr. K, Trevor keeping it as a down payment as he wanted to get paid for his involvement. Later on, if Trevor purchases the McKenzie Airfield, the company will also operate a Cuban 800 and a Dune Buggy for business.
History[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online in 2013[]
Months before the events of GTA V, Trevor seems to have started TPI not long prior and aims to strengthen the business with every opportunity. He takes notice of a few small time criminals who are making a name for themselves. Trevor asks them to steal a tanker, a van full of arms, and Daemon motorcycles from the Lost MC. Additionally, the player is also asked to steal a Cargobob from Fort Zancudo for the TPI fleet. Later, he hires them as a Heist crew and meets with them in an apartment. There he introduces them to Trevor Philips Industries and even has a shirt with T.P.I on the front and back, he explains his goals to the crew and they proceed to acquire what Trevor wants. The result of these efforts allows Trevor and Chef to establish their lab in the liquor store.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
During the events of GTA V, TP Inc get into multiple fights with other Blaine County gangs. A brief war between TP Inc and The Lost MC, caused by Trevor killing Johnny Klebitz after having sex with Ashley Butler, results in the death of Clay Simons and Terry Thorpe, in the acquisition of Sandy Shores Airfield and in the destruction of The Lost trailer park
TP Inc also tries to create a business partnership with the Los Santos Triads, who seek to expand their business in Blaine County. Trevor takes Tao Cheng, son of the Triad boss Wei Cheng, and his translator to a visit in his meth lab in the liquor store, but during their visit the lab is attacked by members of the Aztecas and thanks to Trevor's violent and reckless behavior during the attack, the Triads choose to do business with the O'Neil Brother instead. After Trevor finds out about this, he blows up the O'Neil Ranch in retaliation.
Even while working in Los Santos with Michael and Franklin, Trevor never stops thinking about TP Inc and multiple times he calls Ron to know how his partner is handling his business. Trevor also makes several heist attempts against Merryweather Security, in order to acquire money or weapons to expand TP Inc.
During the course of the storyline, Trevor can buy the McKenzie Field Hangar, opening a set of side missions that involves selling and moving weapons across San Andreas for Oscar Guzman's buyers, operating as TP Inc.
Ending[]
Depending of Trevor's fate at the end of the game, TP Inc will have a different outcome.
If Trevor calls Ron during The Third Way, Trevor tells Ron that TP Inc has a bright future ahead, when mentioning that they won't be dealing with the Triads anymore, and they will have a large amount of cash coming through.
After Trevor is killed by Michael and Franklin, Ron sends a e-mail to Michael cursing him and saying that he lost everything, including the business he and Trevor had developed together, implying that TP Inc is finished.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online after 2013[]
Smuggler's Run[]
In 2017, during the events of Smuggler's Run, Ron Jakowski states that Trevor has "gone Vinewood" on him and became a "guru" and a "lifestyle coach", and also indirectly refers to Trevor as his "old boss", meaning that Ron is no longer affiliated with TP Enterprises as of 2017.
Los Santos Tuners[]
In 2021, during the events of Los Santos Tuners, Chef gets into another fight against the Lost MC, and requests the help of the GTA Online Protagonist and KDJ to destroy their meth labs and steal their shipment of meth for him. KDJ states that Chef works with "a real psycho crew", possibly referring to the remaining members of Trevor Philips Enterprises, or a possible foreshadowing of the Fooliganz, who both Chef and Ron are seen to have connections with.
The Criminal Enterprises[]
At some point before summer 2022, TP Enterprise's meth lab in Great Chaparral was abandoned by Chef.
Los Santos Drug Wars[]
During winter 2022, it is revealed that Trevor had left Sandy Shores after receiving his take from the Union Depository heist. The company's assets, mainly the Ace Liquor meth lab and the Los Santos Warehouse, were eventually taken over by the Fooliganz, thus rendering Trevor Philips Industries defunct.
Agents of Sabotage[]
In 2025, it is revealed that Maze Bank Foreclosures have foreclosed the McKenzie Field Hangar property after Trevor Philips Enterprises became defunct, and it was put on sale soon after. The hangar is then acquired by the GTA Online Protagonist as part of the continuation of the Agents of Sabotage update.

Trivia[]
- While Michael and Trevor are in exile from Los Santos in the desert, there is a Redneck operating the counter at Liquor Ace. He will shoot if the player draws a weapon. It is possible that Trevor has other rednecks that operate as hired guns.
- In addition, the mission Meth'd Up in Grand Theft Auto Online requires the player to attack Ace Liquor and steal a Journey full of meth. Chef will fight the player, but is defeated. The guards at Ace Liquor appear to be generic Rednecks. Ironically, the player is hired by Trevor Philips Enterprises later in the story.
- The GTA Online Protagonist may purchase a tank top with the Trevor Philips Industries livery on it to use as a mask.
- The Trevor Philips Enterprises/Industries logo (sign) shares its font with the cult classic crossover thrash band Stormtroopers of Death.
