In a lot of ways, I grew up in the industry as this was the family business. My uncle and father were home builders. In the mid 1970’s they were having problems getting lumber and trusses delivered on schedule, so they started a lumber yard and then bought a truss plant.
As our industry prepares to gather together in Columbus, Ohio, for BCMC 2019, we thought it would be insightful to look back over the past decade at some of component manufacturing’s crowning achievements.
The dramatic growth in participation has made our discussions livelier and more valuable and has allowed more component manufacturers (CMs) across the country to share their unique experiences and points of view.
This year's upcoming BCMC Show promises to be the biggest show our industry has hosted since the downturn, and a lot is being planned to bring significant value to every attendee.
We were blessed to come into the industry when there were no computers and be part of so many advancements and the amazing increase in quality and productivity.
