SidePlate

Today, they would call it DisasterTech Innovation. Back in 1994, we were looking for ways to prevent future loss and damage following the 6.7 magnitude Northridge, CA earthquake. SidePlate’s founders were part of the local response to that disaster and developed a new, more structurally-efficient way to connect steel frame buildings. And, while our roots maybe in DisasterTech, our commitment to innovation has driven industry adoption of SidePlate connection methods on the full range of building types, in all regions of the country.
