Since 1992, light steel gauge roof trusses, wall panels, and joist systems have proved to be an extremely cost-effective, totally non-combustible alternative to traditional building materials such as concrete, bar joist, and structural steel.

In early 2002, Aegis Metal Framing, LLC melded the strengths of two acknowledged market leaders in engineered light gauge steel products. Aegis is a joint venture of Dietrich Metal Framing, the world’s largest producer of light gauge metal framing products, and MiTek Industries, the world’s leading provider of products, software, and engineering for the pre-fabricated building components industry. Sentry Building Components markets a complete line of metal framing products, including the Ultra-Span truss system, TradeReady floors, and a full range of framing products and accessories. All products are integrated with Aegis’ complete suite of layout, design, estimating, and manufacturing software modules, all linked together with Professional Engineering services.
