Truss Aluminium Factory

What Truss Aluminium Factory does

Truss Aluminium Factory (TAF) is a privately held US-based manufacturer of custom aluminum truss solutions for the live events industry, founded in 1998 and headquartered in New Smyrna Beach, Florida under the legal entity TAF USA, LLC. The company designs and produces engineered modular truss systems — including the FT Quicklock line (27 truss configurations across five shapes), the Prolyte-compatible PT line, bolted truss in light/medium/heavy duty ratings, fork truss, pre-rig truss, and ET lighting-track truss — alongside a broad ecosystem of accessories such as towers, roofs, stages, barriers, LED frames, clamps, start/finish lines, and aluminum furniture. Manufacturing relies on robotic welding and EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy, with CE and TÜV certifications (TÜV Nord for STH/STT stages, TÜV SÜD for truck ramps) supporting eligibility for regulated international projects.

TAF serves four primary customer verticals: live events and entertainment (concerts, festivals, DJs), exhibition and trade shows, sports event management (marathons, cycling, motorsports), and hospitality/nightlife venues. The company operates a project-based B2B sales model with custom quote-based pricing, no publicly disclosed price list, and multi-year enterprise contracts. Distribution is managed through direct enterprise field sales supported by three regional websites (taf-usa.com, eu.trussaluminium.com, taf-uk.com), with documented service coverage across 40+ countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. The 2018 IAAPA Brass Ring Award and 25+ years of continuous operation anchor brand credibility in the niche. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no public revenue filings, and an employee base estimated at 101-250 (firmographic) to 500+ (internal scale commentary).
