Trussbilt was founded in 1926 as Gross Metal Products by Arthur Gross, who designed and patented the TrussCore system of internal reinforcement still used by Trussbilt today. In 1927, the company moved to its longtime location on Como Avenue in St. Paul, MN. As testimony to TrussCore's durability, the new building's roof was constructed of TrussCore-reinforced steel panels covered with asphalt and gravel. That roof is still in use today. In 1930 the company became "Trussbilt Steel Doors, Inc." and then emerged as Trussbilt, with about 75 employees.
Trussbilt has worked closely with architects since 1926 and has come to understand their unique needs. Working as a team, many successful projects have been designed and delivered. We have the experience and resources to provide the right design assistance for your project. Specifications are available for our products in Word or PDF format, test results are posted, and CAD drawings can be downloaded.
There is a reason the detention construction industry has turned away from concrete cells in the last 8-10 years: the clear design advantages of Trussbilt's TrussWall steel panel cell system. TrussWall offers unparalleled design flexibility and ease of construction. Panels are de-mountable and reusable, meaning your design can meet today's requirements while remaining adaptable to the owner's changing needs in the future. As a design professional, you need to maximize the use of space in new facilities.
Owners are increasingly challenged with the need to increase jail capacity, but many lack the time or funding to construct a new facility. There's a low cost solution to this challenge: retrofitting an existing facility. A wide variety of buildings can be retrofitted for detention use. For example, Trussbilt products have been used for converting a former Kmart facility into a jail and for converting a courthouse basement into a holding area (see images).Our TrussWall steel panel cell system has been used in hundreds of retrofits around the world.
