Rigidply Rafters, Inc

Rigidply Rafters, Inc. is a family owned business that has been in continuous operation since 1954. In 1963, Rigidply Rafters, Inc. started manufacturing engineered, metal-plated wood trusses for roof and floor applications. Building on Rigidply’s reputation for outstanding quality and service, our first crane truck was put into service in 1964. Trusses could then be lifted directly from our truck to the roof or floor system. Rigidply’s unmatched quality, people and service continue today as Rigidply remains the premier truss supplier in the Northeast.

The year 1971 brought big changes which included an agreement between Rigidply Rafters, Inc. and Emanuel and Edna Miller to establish a truss plant in Oakland, MD. This new plant proved to be invaluable when the Myerstown facility was destroyed by fired in 1972. Employees from the Pennsylvania plant worked night shifts at the Maryland plant to continue to fill customer orders until the Myerstown plant was rebuilt.  Panel Van Fire struck the corporation yet again this time destroying the Maryland plant in 1985. Facing another major decision, the family and business partners chose to rebuild the Maryland plant. Construction continued throughout the winter of 1985-86 and was completed March 17, 1986.  Today the Rigidply Rafters name continues as a testament to the superior work produced by this family owned business.
