A successful trip to BCMC in Milwaukee was a great opportunity to catch up with our SMPs, cultivate exciting new business partnerships, and celebrate G2 National Associates–shout out to the Corn Hole Champs, Happy Birthday to one of our faves, and thank you to all those who are committed to the G2N vision!

Trusses Used in QSRs and CSPs? What are They?

From the Article: “Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) and Convenience Store Petroleum (CSPs) are not concepts that flow off the lips of members of the truss industry, yet it is a vibrant construction business that can easily be served by the truss community… A new entrant in this market is a company called G2 National, whose mission is to help solve the pain points that they have found this market to have…”
G2 National Op-Ed: G2 National believes an Architectural Prototype, intended to serve the entire United States, should have a structural framing system mate; G2 National’s QSR and CSP Systems.
Currently, changes in loading requirements by regions cause extreme changes to the structural framing system reeking havoc upon on-center spacing, truss depths, roof openings, framing details, and even the materials used.
G2 National has innovated wood-framed structural shells that can eliminate these budget and construction schedule demons.
G2 National selects LP’s 1 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ SolidStart™ LSL for its CSP-P8™ wood structural shell wall studs. The unique strength of the SolidStart™ LSL gives a great advantage over dimensional lumber studs. This strength, when coupled with G2 National’s innovative ADS-P8™, creates a wood wall capable of replacing traditional expensive and schedule-busting CMU walls in the Convenience Store & Petroleum new construction market.
G2 National Op-Ed: Skilled rough carpentry labor shortages are another reason to move towards the strong and simple CSP™ and PRS™. Our easy-to-install systems do NOT require a high level of rough carpentry expertise to safely erect. Watch our video to see how each sub-component of our CSP-P6™ come together. Often no complicated and expensive structural connectors are required…just our HSCs™ and a screw gun.
Members of the G2 National team are meeting CSP industry insiders at the NACS Show in Las Vegas. Getting excited for Day 2. Come check out our booth 2479 to learn about the CSP-P6™.
Fondly dubbed the “Slip ‘N Slide” because of its unique operating mechanisms, this machine will have a special purpose in its new AZ home as a PSP™ Manufacturing Machine!
ACQUISITION: G2 National acquires assets of KC Metal Products, Inc. of San Jose, CA. G2 National will expand KC Metals’ manufacturing by adding plants in Tempe, AZ and Meridian, MS.
New product development is underway and expected to be introduced in 2Q/2019.
Founded in 1970, KC Metal Products, Inc. has been a family-owned and operated American manufacturer for over 40 years. KC Metal Products, Inc. has been known as a leading manufacturer of joist hangers and seismic ties and has historically offered a complete line of connectors and building hardware for concrete, steel stud, engineered wood products and wood construction.
KC Metals will continue to be “American Made” structural connecting hardware.
MERGER: MBB Investments merges two of its companies–G2 National, LLC and SmartFrame Solutions, LLC–to focus on wood-framed structural solutions. G2 National will license its wood-framed structural systems to QSR and CSP AORs Nationwide.
G2T™ production capacity continues to grow as a custom designed Square 1 Design Manufacture Inc. G2T™ machine is installed in Sparks, NV! Many thanks to the Square 1 Team.
