Truss Systems Hawaii

What Truss Systems Hawaii does

Truss Systems Hawaii, Inc. is a privately held structural components manufacturer founded in 1997 by Scott Loomer and headquartered in Puunene, Maui. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates custom wood roof trusses, metal trusses (including Aegis Metal Framing and cold-formed truss products under an exclusive Maui license), prefabricated wall panels up to 20 feet in length, and engineered floor trusses. Production uses computer-controlled saws and automated manufacturing equipment, with metal truss designs individually analyzed and sealed by professional structural engineers. A sub-brand, ShedPro Hawaii (previously TrussSheds), offers custom sheds with a self-serve 3D Shed Builder launched in September 2021.

The company serves general contractors, residential builders, and large commercial developers across Hawaii, with named customers including Swinerton (general contractor for the $75 million Hui Hui Restaurant project at Kaanapali Beach Hotel), Vierra Builders, Arisumi Brothers Construction, Towne Realty, and Scott Lumber. Revenue is generated through project-based, custom-quotation sales: customers submit plans via a PDF/DWG upload system (up to 20MB) or call directly to receive free quotes, with no standard pricing tiers, no recurring contracts, and no intermediaries. Distribution is direct-to-customer from a single Maui manufacturing baseyard.

Business model is one-time, project-tied sale of engineered building components with no subscription or recurring layer. Marketing is concentrated on the company website (product pages, testimonials, project showcases, team profiles), direct phone engagement, and a 2021 environmental partnership with the National Forest Foundation under which more than 715,000 trees have been planted. The company has no external institutional investors, no parent company, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds. Founder Scott Loomer remains active as President and was named the 2022 SBA Small Business Person of the Year for Hawaii.
