Date: THIS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR WEATHER PURPOSES

Founded by Elwood M. Anderson in 1973, Idaho Truss began its corporate existence as Anderson Trussco. By 2006, the wall panel/framing lumber business is the fastest growing part of Idaho Truss & Component Company and commonly ships product into almost every state west of the Continental Divide. In support of its differentiation strategy, the company has taken an aggressive approach to increase its capabilities by setting comprehensive internal standards for training and certification for all technical and sales staff.  In addition, in 2001, the company was awarded the Idaho Quality Award for Quality Commitment Recognition for excellence in the development and documentation of its management and production processes. In 2001, Idaho Truss also became Idaho's first and only WTCA QC Certified Truss Plant, placing it among only 1% of truss plants in the nation that have achieved this rigorous certification.  For more information about Idaho Truss and InteFrame please follow these links www.idahotruss.com -or- www.inteframe.com
