About

Simpson Strong-Tie is the world leader in structural solutions — products and technology that help people design and build safer, stronger homes, buildings, and communities. As a pioneer in the building industry, we have an unmatched passion for problem solving through skillful engineering and thoughtful innovation. Our structural systems research and rigorous testing enable us to design code-listed, value-engineered solutions for a multitude of applications in wood, steel, and concrete structures. Our dedication to pursuing ever-better construction products and technology and to surrounding our customers with exceptional service and support has been core to our mission since 1956. Our mission is driven by our people and values-based culture. Company founder, Barclay (“Barc”) Simpson, established these values with his Nine Principles of Business. From “Relentless Customer Focus” and “Risk-Taking Innovation” to “Give Back,” “Everybody Matters” and “Be Humble, Have Fun,” our values guide behavior and decision-making throughout the company, helping to ensure that everyone is included and treated with respect. The company started with the simple desire to solve a problem. In the summer of 1956, the brother of a neighbor asked Barc if he could make a product to connect the ends of 2x4s for a roof. That request led to our first innovation, a joist hanger. Ever since, our passion to serve customers by delivering total, trusted solutions has defined and set us apart in the construction industry.
