A neighbor's brother had stopped by to ask if he could make a product to connect the ends of 2x4s for a roof. On a Sunday evening in the summer of 1956, Barclay Simpson's doorbell rang. The Simpson Strong-Tie sales team operates nationally and is equipped with technical support and training to assist with specification and jobsite support to service the needs of our customers.
