When settling isn\u2019t in your vocabulary, the best becomes within reach. Where others see limits, we see possibilities \u2014 possibilities that help make your building work harder for you. The highest-quality roof. Longer bay sizes. Unbeatable design flexibility. The most energy-efficient. More becomes possible when you are constantly pushing the boundaries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
A history ripe with innovation that matters. It shows a commitment to finding better answers and that breaking down boundaries is in our DNA. But more importantly, it shows we know how to develop and apply practical answers to some of the biggest building design challenges.<\/p>
Our company was founded in 1901 on the idea that we could build a better product, and we\u2019ve been honing\u00a0that steel building design expertise for nearly 120 years. Our team has delivered most of the industry\u2019s major advancements. Over the years, we\u2019ve held more than 50 patents, including the industry\u2019s first weathertight standing-seam metal roof. So, imagine the kind of brainpower and dedication we can bring to your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Today, we\u2019re not just focused on innovating products that do more for customers, we\u2019re also focused on streamlining the building process. We\u2019ve developed tools that help you choose the best option to keep long-term operating costs under control, visualize the building long before construction starts, and take guesswork and human error out of the process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
In 1959, we opened the doors to our Research and Development Center, a dedicated space for product development and testing. Today, it is home to the industry\u2019s only privately owned Guarded Hot Box, a testing apparatus to quantify energy efficiency. We also have numerous other tests focused on product strength, efficiency and longevity:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
It\u2019s because of this unique space, and the people who work in it, that we have a unique perspective on how to build some of the strongest and longest-lasting buildings in the industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
No other company in the industry can offer the expertise and experience we have with engineering quality building systems. No other company can match our track record of delivering game-changing innovations that stay ahead of your needs and code mandates. It\u2019s with this foundation that we can help you build a building that delivers true business value.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Our innovations help you build better, through more flexible and durable building components and technology that streamlines the building process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
You\u2019ll have a single point of contact dedicated to exceeding expectations in the most efficient way possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
