When I decided to conduct this 12-month series of product comparisons last fall, I knew it would be a year-long commitment of my time and effort. Then and now, however, I also was convinced that it would provide useful information in a format that allows for direct comparisons on specific features.
The guidelines I am continuing to use for this series are:
- Each product will be limited to only the information available to customers via the internet
- A comparison of standard features
- A comparison of optional features
- Manufacturers must be actively selling in the building components industry
- No price comparisons will be provided.
I have researched the following companies’ websites and used the information posted there to compile this series:
Square 1 Design & Manufacture Inc
Acer Inc
Alpine, An ITW Company
Apex Machine Sales
Clark Industries Inc
Eagle Metal
Eide Integrated Systems
Eide Machinery
Enventek LLC
Fitzgerald Group
The Hain Company
MiTek Industries
NWH Roof & Floor Truss Systems
Panels Plus
Spida Machinery
Stiles Machinery Inc
Terminailer
Triad Machines
Trussmatic
Vekta Automation
Wescana Industries
Wasserman & Associates Inc.
Because there have been some misunderstandings involving our January report on Floor Truss Roller Presses, we’re now including a short review period before publishing the results of my investigations. Please contact me or The Advertiser if you have any questions or additional input for this or other months. I hope you will find this series to be as interesting and informative as I have.
