Simpson Strong-Tie breaks ground on new facility in Fulton

Fulton, Mo. — Simpson Strong-Tie, a world leader in structural solutions, breaks ground on a new
facility in Fulton, investing more than $19 million and adding 24 new jobs to the area. The
company’s new facility will bring together its equipment solutions business, including Monet
DeSauw™ saws, EasyFrame™ automated marking systems, and truss fabrication equipment,
reinforcing its commitment to providing advanced technologies that strengthen the building
industry.
“Simpson Strong-Tie’s investment in Callaway County is another clear sign that Missouri is open for
business and ready to compete,” said Governor Mike Kehoe. “Companies are choosing Missouri
because of our strong workforce, central location, and commitment to moving at the speed of
business. We’re proud to welcome this new facility and the opportunities it will create for
Missourians, and we appreciate Simpson Strong-Tie’s confidence in our state as a place to invest,
grow, and succeed.”
Building on the company’s established manufacturing presence in Fulton, the new Simpson
Strong-Tie facility will consolidate its equipment solutions operations into a single location. The
consolidation will enhance the company’s ability to innovate, manufacture, and support
equipment solutions that help customers improve productivity, efficiency, and quality while
supporting the evolving needs of the businesses. In addition, the project will bring meaningful
economic benefits to the local community, supporting job growth and strengthening the region’s
manufacturing landscape.
“This project reflects the dedication of our Fulton team and the strong relationships we’ve built
with our customers and community,” said Nick Algya, Senior Vice President, Southeast Region
for Simpson Strong-Tie. “By bringing our people and expertise together, we’ll be better positioned
to respond to customers, collaborate across teams, and support the continued growth of the
component manufacturing industry.”
Founded in 1956, Simpson Strong-Tie has grown into one of the industry’s most trusted innovators
in structural solutions. Over the decades, the company has expanded its portfolio of products,
technologies, and services to support safer, stronger construction across residential, commercial,
OEM, national retail, and component manufacturing markets. With a commitment to engineering
excellence and customer-focused innovation, Simpson Strong-Tie continues to shape the future of
building by delivering reliable solutions that enhance performance, efficiency, and structural
safety.
“We’re excited to see Simpson Strong-Tie growing its presence in Missouri,” said Michelle
Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “This nearly $20 million
investment and 24 new jobs will create meaningful opportunities for Missourians while
strengthening the Callaway County community. We’re grateful to Simpson Strong-Tie for its
continued confidence in our state and to our local partners whose collaboration helped make this
project possible.”
For this expansion, Simpson Strong-Tie will benefit from the Missouri Works Program, a tool that
helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or
