Northland Truss Systems, Inc. - - 4025 4th Ave S Ste. 2    Fargo, ND 58103      
PH: 701.282.4477 
Northland Truss Systems, Inc. was founded by Rick Pierce in 1992 and started with a   handful of Truss Workers, two Truss Designers, one Truck Driver and an Office   Manager.  N.T.S. designs and manufactures roof trusses and floor trusses for new   construction.  Alpine Engineering of Pompano Beach, Florida approves all of our truss   designs, in addition to furnishing the truss plates for manufacturing our trusses.  N.T.S. opened it's doors in Abercrombie, North Dakota, just thirty miles south of   Fargo.  The location was chosen because of it's accessibility to Fargo and small cities in   both Minnesota and South Dakota.  Abercrombie is also cost effective compared to the   high priced real estate within the Fargo area.  In January of 1993, N.T.S. expanded to   the Fargo area by opening the General Office, but retaining the company's manufacturing   facility in Abercrombie.  By opening the General Office in Fargo, we made our   design/sales people accessible to our   largest sales base, which includes   contractors and lumberyards in the Fargo-  Moorhead and surrounding areas. Since N.T.S. opened, there have been   many additions and improvements   made.We have expanded our   manufacturing facility and purchased top of   the line equipment. In addition, in 1999 we   moved our General Office to a much larger   building in order to house the increasing number of employees and provide better   working conditions. All new computer equipment was installed with new servers in 2003   to network our computers and keep N.T.S on top of the ever-changing technology world   of truss design and production


Structural Truss Systems Ltd. - Through the use of sophisticated computer software,  industrial precision equipment, trained personnel, and graded lumber, Structural Truss Systems Ltd. fabricates a quality engineered component which enhances the appearance and lifetime of the customer's project. Engineered wood products are stronger and straighter with virtually no warping, shrinking, or twisting. Engineered floor and roof systems use materials more effectively during construction and reduce labour costs, saving you money.

Swift Engineered Truss Systems -  has been supplying trusses to the Gulf Coast for nearly 50 years. Our new state-of –art truss plant in Foley is one of the most advanced in the south. Our computer operated tables and saws further advance the quality and dependability that Swift Supply has always been known for. We can build trusses for any project from a simple shed to a large commercial venture.
Swift Engineered Truss Systems is excited to now be able to offer professionally designed and built floor trusses. Floor trusses are popular because they can span greater distances than conventional floor joists. This creates larger open spaces unobstructed by posts, supports or partitions. They are custom designed and built for each application. Floor trusses also provide openings for HVAC, plumbing and electrical to be run through the floor system. Swift Engineered Truss Systems has an Engineered Wood Program featuring products from Boise Cascade. Boise's Wood I Joists, LVL’s and Rimboard are technologically superior to sold sawn wood. You will get a stronger, quieter floor system with Engineered Wood Products. We have the experts to design your floor system, and we will design it to be sure it works from the foundation to the roof.
