Simpson Strong-Tie designs and manufactures structural connectors, fasteners, anchoring systems and lateral-force-resisting products for wood, steel and concrete construction, plus engineering software.
Simpson Strong-Tie designs and manufactures structural products for the construction industry: connectors (including joist hangers), fasteners, anchoring systems for wood, steel and concrete, and lateral-force-resisting systems built to withstand wind and seismic events. The company traces its origins to 1956, when a single request for a joist hanger prompted its founding product. Its components are used in millions of buildings each year, spanning single-family homes, mid-rise commercial buildings and infrastructure, and it describes itself as a world leader in structural solutions.
Technical work at the company spans structural engineering across wood, steel and concrete construction, seismic and wind engineering, product testing and code-listing, and construction software technology. Alongside hardware, Simpson Strong-Tie supplies software, technology and engineering expertise to architects, engineers, contractors and DIY customers. The business operates in North America, Europe and Oceania, with a worldwide presence.
Operations are guided by founder Barclay “Barc” Simpson's Nine Principles of Business, which include Relentless Customer Focus, Risk-Taking Innovation, Everybody Matters and Give Back, the company's community-giving programme. Stated priorities include rigorous testing, continuous innovation, customer support and a mission focused on making structures safer and stronger, carried on as a family and founder-led enterprise since 1956.
