Simpson Strong-Tie

Check out this San Martin Restaurant project in Plano, Texas by TimberBLDR. Our Simpson Strong-Tie products supported a steel and GLT hybrid structure. TimberBLDR led the procurement, design assistance, and installation for the project, using a range of our products, including the LDSS™ Light Diaphragm Spline Strap, MTLD Mass Timber Lifting Device, and Strong-Drive® WSV SUBFLOOR Screw. The QuickDrive® system was also used to streamline the installation process. Architect: GFF GLT Manufacturer: Kalesnikoff TimberBLDR did the procurement, designs assist and install on this project.

How do Tension Straps Evolve for Mass Timber Structures? Mass timber projects require robust tension straps to handle high loads in horizontal diaphragms. Traditional options often need multiple straps or custom solutions, adding cost and complexity. We address these challenges with our innovative products like the MDCST48 and MTWS Mass Timber Washer Strap. Read the full blog to explore how these solutions work and how they were tested. https://bit.ly/4748Gv3

Earlier this year, 25 Simpson Strong-Tie employees in Texas came together to build pergolas for two disabled veterans through Smiles Charity, using our Outdoor Accents® hardware. As a platinum sponsor, we’re proud to support their mission to give back to veterans and the community. Our team worked hard to complete the builds in one day, and the veterans were grateful for the support. It’s always rewarding to give back, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to make a difference. Read our blog to hear what our employees had to say about this volunteer experience! https://bit.ly/3V91SZR

At Simpson Strong-Tie, we take pride in our company values, rooted in the Nine Principles of Doing Business by our founder, Barclay Simpson. One key principle is “Give Back,” which emphasizes our obligation to the community and humanity. Recently, we partnered with the Valley Contractors Workforce Foundation to help raise walls for a new home in Paradise, CA, a community affected by the Camp Fire in 2018. Our leadership, employees, and trainees from the Hands On Tools Mobile Construction Training program came together for this effort, and we contributed $10,000 toward the build. This reflects our commitment to home building and supporting construction trades education. We’re grateful to our partners for helping us rebuild homes and communities. Together, we’re making a difference.

Earlier this year, a group of Simpson Strong-Tie volunteers joined over a thousand other volunteers at the Carter Work Project, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Together, they built 35 homes, honoring the legacy of the Carters. Additionally, our support included a $35,000 donation and product contributions as part of our Roof-Raiser sponsorship. We are proud to give back to the community through projects like this. #CarterWorkProject #habitatforhumanity #strongtie #giveback #companyculture #companyvalues #SimpsonStrongTie
