Our Mission Statement: Grow Lasting Relationships Through Innovative Fastening Solutions.
Founded in 1981 in Bryan, OH, TRUFAST began manufacturing and distributing unique and better performing fastening solutions for the commercial roofing industry. As its product offering grew to include other engineered fastening solutions and accessories, the TRUFAST® brand developed a reputation for high-quality products and outstanding customer service.
In 2006, German-based ALTENLOH, BRINCK & CO. (ABC) – a global leader in the manufacturing of fastening solutions for the construction industries, and widely recognized for its SPAX® brand – acquired the ongoing TRUFAST operation. Later that year, ABC consolidated its North American facility from Baltimore, MD into the TRUFAST operation. SPAX® Construction Screws and PowerLags™, engineered for residential construction and remodeling, are sold through leading home improvement centers, hardware stores, and lumber and building material dealers.
As part of the integration of the TRUFAST and SPAX US operations, the TRUFAST Company became known as ALTENLOH, BRINCK & CO. U.S. Inc. in 2009.
In order to meet customer demand and future opportunities for its products, ABC US expanded its facilities continuously starting in 2009 with a 33,000-square foot expansion and modernization of its manufacturing facility in 2011. As well as, a 50,000 sq. ft. expansion to its heat treat facility in Pioneer, OH and a further expansion of 50,000 sq ft in 2021. All facilities are ISO 9001 certified.
In 2017, ALTENLOH, BRINCK & Co. US acquired Rodenhouse Inc. (today Trufast Walls) as a strategic expansion to grow the fastener portfolio for the entire building envelope. Trufast Walls is located in Grand Rapids, MI and manufactures innovative fastening systems for the exterior building envelope and facades. Recently implemented energy codes have changed the insulation requirements for virtually all new construction. With those changes, Trufast Walls has partnered with leading foam insulation, building wrap, and air/moisture barrier manufacturers and has developed fasteners and tools to rapidly install the material.
Today, TRUFAST® fasteners, adhesives, and accessories continue to be sold through commercial roofing and building material distributors throughout North America and Western Europe, as well as supplied under the private labels of leading OEM commercial roofing systems manufacturers. Customers can get TRUFAST products when and where they need them with our four regional warehouse locations (Bryan, OH; Grand Prairie, TX; Jacksonville, FL; Chino, CA). Independent testing and certification assures customers that TRUFAST products have been objectively tested and conform to the highest national and international standards (FM Global, Miami-Dade County Product Control, State of Florida, European Technical Approvals and NTA, Inc.).
