Gibraltar Industries has manufacturing, warehousing and sales facilities located across all of North America. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER USP has been committed to making pro-grade structural connectors for more than 50 years. In the course of those five-plus decades, we've seen a lot of changes in the way we do business and the way buildings are constructed. But, in all that time our passion and our level of commitment has remained rock solid. We know that every day trade professionals and homeowners alike are using our products to make something a little bit better than it needs to be. We like that, because that's how we think, too. Before a single one of USP's 4, 000 products finds its way to a construction site, it needs to earn the approval of some very particular people. Our engineers, production workers, sales people and customer service representatives all feel a sense of personal responsibility for everything we put our name on. If you have a question, a comment or need some help, we encourage you to call us. You'll find the number on virtually everything we print. We're anxious to hear from you, and we'll do what we can to make sure you get what you need to do your job. . . and make things better.
