⛳ Giving Back, One Swing at a Time!

This weekend, Jack, Justin, and Alex hit the links to represent ProTec at the Orangeville Community Outreach (OCO) Charity Golf Outing.

We're proud to support events that bring people together for a great cause while strengthening the communities we serve.

🏗️ Building Hospitality, One Component at a Time 🏗️

It's exciting to see this new Holiday Inn Express in West Lafayette, Indiana taking shape!

ProTec is proud to have supplied the wall panels, floor trusses, and roof trusses that help form the structural backbone of this impressive project. From design and manufacturing to delivery, our team works closely with builders to provide quality components that help keep projects moving efficiently and on schedule.

Projects like this showcase the advantages of engineered building systems—speed, precision, and consistency from the ground floor all the way to the roof.

A big thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to life. We look forward to seeing the finished hotel welcome guests for years to come!

🌅 Before the Day Gets Started, We're Already Hard at Work 🌅

While most of the community is just starting their morning, our teams in Bremen, Battle Creek, and Hastings are already hard at work pulling orders, staging materials, and getting loads ready for delivery.

From lumber and treated products to building materials of all kinds, every bundle is carefully prepared to ensure our customers have what they need, when they need it. 🚛🪵

No matter which location is serving you, our goal is the same: provide dependable service and help keep your projects moving forward. That commitment starts long before the first jobsite coffee break.

A big thank you to our yard crews in all three locations for their dedication, attention to detail, and early mornings that help keep our customers building every day! 💪

🚀 Industry Recognition for Protec Panel & Truss 🚀

We're honored to be featured in a recent LBM Journal article, "Why More Dealers Are Thinking Like Manufacturers," which highlights the growing importance of component manufacturing in the building materials industry.

As labor challenges continue to impact construction, manufacturers and dealers are finding new ways to improve efficiency, increase productivity, and deliver greater value to customers. At Protec Panel & Truss, we've embraced that mindset by investing in technology, innovation, and our people to provide high-quality roof trusses, floor trusses, wall panels, and design services that help keep projects moving forward.

We're proud to be part of an industry that is continually evolving and grateful to our team, customers, and partners who make our success possible every day.
Thank you to LBM Journal for recognizing the role component manufacturers play in shaping the future of construction.

https://www.lbmjournal.com/features/in-depth/article/15826139/why-more-dealers-are-thinking-like-manufacturers

With the chronic shortage of skilled labor and the need for productivity gains in home construction, it’s no surprise that the building component category is experiencing rapid growth. While the opportunity is growing, the reality for traditional LBM dealers is not that simple.

A Thing of Beauty in Progress

We are proud to recognize our Component Designer/Trainer, Eddie Elmer, who will celebrate 3 years with ProTec Panel & Truss on September 25th!

Since joining the team, he has spent nearly his entire tenure designing components, with a brief five-month experience in sales early last year. His knowledge, dedication, and commitment to helping others succeed have made a lasting impact on our organization.

His passion for mentoring new designers helps strengthen our team and supports the next generation of industry professionals.

Outside of work, he enjoys car performance projects, home improvement, golf, and Bible study.

When it comes to ProTec's services, his favorite is our commitment to urgent repairs and resolutions:

"I've seen many customers show their gratitude for our quick response times on issues, and it makes me proud to work for such a company."

Thank you for your hard work, leadership, and dedication to both our customers and team members. We appreciate everything you do and look forward to many more years of success together!
