Housing and structural building component manufacturers have been struggling to keep up due to shifting demand. It’s not a lack of customers or supply constraints holding them back. It’s labor shortages that appear to have no end in sight. With a limited labor pool, manufacturers are looking for alternative ways to increase production rates, without compromising quality.
Another issue facing many wall, panel and truss manufacturers is customers’ changing design needs. Despite high interest rates and building costs, there is a growing niche of buyers looking to build custom homes, ones that stretch the limits of engineering and design. These cutting-edge designs test engineers and builders as they figure out how to adapt to different building materials and fastener requirements while still meeting building codes for safety and performance.
The LINC team is here to support your efforts.
LINC Systems provides wall, panel and truss manufacturers with the fasteners, fastening tools, packaging solutions, industrial products and expertise they need to achieve the highest level of success, no matter what challenges are in the way.
