Revenue is generated through hardware sales of these fastening products, with pricing handled via direct quote rather than public disclosure. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, operates from its headquarters in Bryan, Ohio, and markets primarily to commercial roofing contractors, wall assembly contractors, building material distributors, and building envelope specifiers (architects and engineers) in the United States. Its TRUTALK sub-brand serves as an educational content platform offering whitepapers, CEU courses, and installation resources aimed at driving specification-led demand.
