Simpson Strong-Tie acquires Ready Products
Simpson Strong-Tie, the structural connectors and building solutions subsidiary of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc., has acquired Ready Products from Radius Track Corporation headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn.
The move is expected to help Simpson Strong-Tie expand its offering of solutions for cold-formed steel construction. Radius Track Corporation will continue as its own separate entity focused on the design, engineering, and fabrication of sub-systems for curved and complex services, both preconstruction and post-contract award.
Ready Products brands include Ready-Hat, Ready-Track, Ready-Arch, and Ready-Angle, along with Radius Tools’ Radius Track Bender and Radius Trim Bende. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to Simpson, Ready Products provides an alternative to the manual, labor-intensive jobsite methods of cutting, snipping, and shaping of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing. The Radius Tools are portable curved framing hand tools enabling the user to bend CFS framing to create curved walls and soffits quickly and accurately on the jobsite. Radius Track was originally founded in 1997 to distribute these tools.
“We are excited about acquiring these product lines from Radius Track to continue to expand our offering of CFS framing solutions to new and existing customers. This acquisition aligns with our value proposition of being the trusted provider of building solutions to the construction industry,” said Jeremy Gilstrap, Simpson Strong-Tie general manager of concrete construction products.
Radius Track Corporation President, Bob Krebsbach, added, “The Radius Track team is delighted that Simpson Strong-Tie will now be offering the Ready Products and Radius Tools as part of their solution for CFS construction. With their focus on exceptional customer service, we believe this acquisition will benefit their customers in providing time- and labor-savings on the jobsite.”
