U.S Truss

What U.S Truss does

U.S. Truss Company is a privately held custom manufacturer of engineered structural building components, primarily roof trusses and floor trusses, with wall panels now also in the product mix. Founded in 2000 and headquartered at 875 Lawndale Ave in Springfield, Illinois, the company operates a second production facility in Cortland, Illinois (164 S. Loves Road) and serves residential and commercial construction markets across Illinois and Missouri. Components are engineered and manufactured to customer-specified dimensions, including truss type (Common, Gable, Scissor, Storage, Attic, Barn, Mono, Gambrel, Special), span, pitch, overhang, cantilever, bearing width, and spacing, with the company emphasizing design accuracy, secure shipping, and on-time job-site delivery.

The company's customer base consists of home builders and contractors who choose engineered structural components over conventional stick-framing to reduce jobsite labor hours, material waste, and lumber usage. Sales are conducted through a direct-to-buyer motion combining a website quote-request form, phone, and email ([email protected]), with no public pricing and no recurring contract structure - each order is a one-time custom product sale built to submitted plans. The company is a member of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA), which it displays on its website as a quality-standards trust signal.

U.S. Truss runs a lean operation (11-50 employees) focused on a two-state regional footprint with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or restructuring events since founding. Revenue and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed, and the company has no app, no public API, no disclosed certifications beyond SBCA membership, and no documented AI or digital technology stack beyond standard web and CAD-based design tooling. The business model is therefore a traditional regional industrial manufacturer with stable operations, modest geographic and product-line expansion, and exposure to Illinois/Missouri construction cycle dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• ABC Supply Co. ABC Supply is the largest U.S. distributor of roofing, siding, and related exterior building products, serving contractors that overlap with U.S. Truss's builder customer base. It is comparable on customer overlap and channel (supplier to professional contractors) rather than on custom truss manufacturing.
• Builders FirstSource: Builders FirstSource is one of the largest U.S. suppliers of structural building components, including manufactured roof and floor trusses and wall panels, with extensive manufacturing capacity across the Midwest. It is comparable to U.S. Truss on core product (engineered trusses/wall panels for residential construction) but operates at national scale with vertically integrated design and software tools.
• Boise Cascade: Boise Cascade manufactures engineered wood products (I-joists, LVL) and operates a Building Materials Distribution network serving component manufacturers, structurally comparable to U.S. Truss at the upstream wood-product and adjacent component level. It is a broad incumbent in the same construction supply chain rather than a head-to-head regional truss competitor.
• 84 Lumber: 84 Lumber is a national building-materials distributor and component manufacturer with truss plants serving residential builders across many states. It competes with U.S. Truss in the Midwest on engineered roof and floor trusses, but at much broader geographic scale and as part of a multi-product lumber and materials offering.

Emerging players

• MiTek Industries: MiTek Industries supplies truss design software, connector hardware (plated gusset/nail plates), and automated manufacturing equipment widely used by component manufacturers like U.S. Truss. It is an adjacent ecosystem player whose technology underpins much of the U.S. truss industry and which is increasingly offering its own design and production services.

Others

• Weyerhaeuser: Weyerhaeuser is a major timberland owner and producer of lumber and engineered wood products used in residential construction, including as inputs to truss manufacturing. It is a comparable industry incumbent upstream of U.S. Truss rather than a direct competitor, shaping the cost and availability of the raw materials U.S. Truss relies on.

Direct peers

• A-1 Truss & Lumber: A-1 Truss & Lumber is a custom roof and floor truss manufacturer serving builders in a defined regional market, with similar build-to-order engineering and direct delivery to job sites. It is a near-direct peer to U.S. Truss in business model, product range, and customer base.

Regional players

• Foxworth Lumber & Truss: Foxworth Lumber & Truss is a regional building-materials manufacturer serving the Southeast U.S. that produces custom roof and floor trusses and engineered components. It is comparable to U.S. Truss as a multi-plant, custom-engineered component manufacturer focused on builders, though geographically separate.
