August 2007 saw the launch of a new quality standard for the European construction industry.

First to adopt the latest European policy -

Simpson Strong-Tie makes it's mark on CE.

Think you can take quality for granted?

From initial design to final product, we take quality seriously.

It's why we have state of the art, ISO 9000 approved, manufacturing facilities and why we are working towards ISO 14001 approved environmental status.

It's why we invest comfortably more than any other connector specialist on product testing facilities. Our technical capability and financial strength allow us to lead the market in meeting building codes and standards across Europe.

Innovation: Your commercial advantage...

We're flattered that others imitate us. And we'd rather be leaders than followers. Our customers prefer it that way too, because it means they are always the first to benefit from new ideas. Coming up with a constant stream of innovative new products has been our hallmark for over fifty years. And often they become the standard construction items very quickly. We have devoted almost a million Euros to research and development and that committment grows every day as we continue developing innovative ideas, resulting in more new products for the our customers than from any other manufacturer.


The first manufacturer's lab to achieve UKAS accreditation.

When it comes to quality, we match our words with actions...

Our European Test Laboratory located in Tamworth, Staffs is the first manufacturer's facility to achieve international standard BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 - which means we are accredited to carry out testing for CE marking and development testing acceptable to all members of The European Organisation for Technical Approvals - who issue European technical Approvals (ETA's) for products.

All this is your guarantee that our structural products meet all the building regulations and standards.

 

"The accreditation of our European test facility not only sets the standards for the connector industry as a whole, it sets Simpson Strong-Tie as a global leader in this field. It is vital our customers and specifiers are confident in the reliability and accuracy of our product testing and this accreditation is the ultimate endorsement."

Ian Harrison - European Technical Director, Simpson Strong-Tie.

It's why our customers can have total trust in our products.
