Simpson Strong-Tie

Innovation. Trust. Relationship. Those are just a few of the benefits our customers cite when they explain why they choose Simpson Strong-Tie products first.

Simpson Manufacturing Company Inc. entered the connector business in 1956. Today, it is a growing international company in the manufacture and marketing of building products.

Through our subsidiary, Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc., we design, engineer, and manufacture structural connectors, anchors, and other products for new construction, retrofitting, and do-it-yourself (DIY) markets. Today, Simpson Strong-Tie is the leading structural connector manufacturer in the United States and Europe.

Since 1956, we have designed, tested and manufactured safe, strong, and innovative products for the construction industry. We acquire materials from suppliers around the world. Our finished products are used in residential and commercial construction as well as infrastructure and industrial applications. We design and test products to improve the performance and integrity of the structures they are installed in. This improved performance makes those structures more sustainable, and often helps to save lives in times of natural disasters.

We value the individual, and the creativity that individuals can bring to the workplace. You join this company for a career, not a job!

Giving Back to Military Families

As part of our annual International Sales Meeting, Simpson Strong-Tie employees participate in a “Put Something Back” team-building activity with a charitable component. In 2015, the 350 meeting attendees assembled, painted and decorated 20 playhouses as part of a Habitat for Humanity build project.

The Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley affiliate in Northern California worked with Blue Star Moms, a membership organization for mothers whose children are serving or have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Blue Star Moms identified military families with young children who would appreciate the playhouses.

Local families came to the meeting, held in Tucson, AZ, to pick up their playhouses. Simpson Strong-Tie is proud to participate in charitable opportunities like this one to maintain our founder Barc Simpson’s legacy of giving back to our communities.

At Simpson Strong-Tie, you'll find talented, passionate, dedicated, humble and genuinely kind people who are all connected by our shared mission — to provide solutions that help people design and build safer, stronger structures. We've built a workplace where people are connected and engaged in creative thinking from day one throughout their careers.

Simpson Strong-Tie Territory Sales Manager Emily Holtshouser never imagined a career in the construction industry. Within a week of joining the Simpson Strong-Tie sales team, she knew she had found a home. Emily says, “Every person I meet is someone I want to have a friendship with for the rest of my career.”

When you think of the best a family has to offer — support, collaboration and respect — that's what we value at Simpson Strong-Tie. When there's a win, we'll cheer you on. When there's a snag, coworkers step in to help you out. Working on solutions together is just the way we do things here, and that creates an atmosphere that often feels like home.
