Products

Our products are widely used by professional remodelers and carpenters for framing, sheathing, trim and finish applications, fencing, floor and roof decking, siding, and insulation.
History
Our history for innovation began in 1935 with our company founder, industrialist J.W. Leslie. The Signode Steel Strapping Company was enjoying good success in the manufacture and sales of steel strapping for bundling materials and closing containers. J.W. Leslie felt a key to his company’s success was demonstrating the product. Unfortunately, the sales representatives wasted much valuable time making cold calls on prospects that might not have a need for Signode products. To solve the problem, Mr. Leslie founded a subsidiary company to market shipping room supplies, with the additional intention of opening doors and scouting potential leads for Signode representatives.
