What Global Truss does

Global Truss America, LLC is a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of aluminum trussing systems serving the entertainment, live events, trade show, and rigging industries. Founded in 2001 and operating from a 60,000 sq ft warehouse and headquarters at 4295 Charter Street, the company designs, engineers, and manufactures modular trussing built from EN-AW 6082 T6 alloy, with all products TÜV SÜD certified to European and American industry standards. The core product portfolio spans F-series square, triangular, I-beam, and single-tube truss segments (F14 through F44P), DT-series heavy-duty bolt-together truss (DT34P, DT36, DT44P, DT46, DT-GP), a comprehensive accessories line (clamps, couplers, base plates, hinges, hangers, rigging), crank stands (ST and DT-PRO series), modular staging (GT-STAGE), ground support systems, predesigned arch and goal post systems, and aluminum truss-inspired furniture.

The company sells primarily through its own e-commerce website to U.S., Latin American, and worldwide customers, and extends reach via regional distributors: ADJ Products Group in Mexico, SF Marketing in Canada, and Duratruss in Europe (Kerkrade, Netherlands). Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing, consistent with a project-driven B2B sales motion. Revenue streams are hardware sales across the truss, accessory, crank stand/staging, furniture, and predesigned system categories. The business is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no public financials; headcount sits in the 51-100 range.
