Structural Technologies Expands Strengthening Solutions

COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Structural Technologies, LLC (Structural Technologies), a Structural Group company, today announced the acquisition of the Composite Strengthening Systems (CSS) product line from Simpson Strong-Tie (Simpson). This marks the conclusion of the Alliance formed between the two companies in 2021 and enhances Structural Technologies' Strengthening Solutions position as a leading provider of structural upgrade solutions for concrete, masonry and timber structures.

As the distributor of Simpson's CSS systems in North America for the past four (4) years, Structural Technologies has achieved consistent growth. This has been driven by supporting owners, engineers, and contractors with value-added structural strengthening solutions for civil infrastructure across commercial, public, and industrial markets.

Peter Emmons, CEO of Structural Group, commented on the acquisition: "We wish to express gratitude to Simpson Strong-Tie for the Alliance and look forward to continuing on with the CSS product line as an integral part our Strengthening Solutions business." He added, "This is the first step in a strategic growth plan that includes expanding our technical support capabilities and R&D efforts – we'll be sharing more later this year."

Since the early 1990s, Structural Group companies have helped lead in driving adoption of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) products, advancing Structural Technologies' mission of making structures stronger and last longer. The CSS product line will join Structural Technologies' existing V-Wrap™ FRP products to create the most comprehensive range of FRP solutions available. The combined product line includes multiple International Code Council (ICC) reports, an extensive portfolio of R&D test data, and acceptance for seismic and structural upgrades in North America and internationally.

Structural Technologies also announced plans for additional expansion of its Strengthening Solutions business, with updates expected later this year. For more information about Structural Technologies Strengthening Solutions, click here.
