Simpson Strong-Tie exists to solve one of construction's most critical challenges: making structures safer and stronger. Founded in 1956 by Barclay Simpson after a simple request to create a joist hanger for connecting 2x4s, the company has grown into the world leader in structural solutions. Every year, millions of buildings rely on Simpson Strong-Tie products - from connectors and fasteners to anchoring systems and lateral force resistors - to withstand the forces of nature and time. The company's engineers develop code-listed, value-engineered solutions for wood, steel, and concrete structures, supporting applications ranging from single-family homes to mid-rise office buildings and infrastructure projects.
What truly sets Simpson Strong-Tie apart is a culture built on founder Barclay "Barc" Simpson's Nine Principles of Business. From "Relentless Customer Focus" and "Risk-Taking Innovation" to "Everybody Matters" and "Give Back," these values guide every decision. The company combines rigorous testing, continuous innovation, and exceptional customer support to deliver trusted construction solutions worldwide. With manufacturing facilities and offices across North America, Europe, and Oceania, Simpson Strong-Tie doesn't just make products - they provide the technology, software, and expertise that help architects, engineers, contractors, and DIYers build structures that protect lives and withstand whatever the future holds.
