20 Years of SidePlate 

 

SidePlate celebrates 20 years of smarter steel structures with "Thank You" party at NASCC

 

Although SidePlate may seem new to many people, this year marks our 20th anniversary.  We've evolved from the early post-Northridge days of protecting hospitals and military facilities to today's work optimizing steel buildings across the country.  During the recent Steel Conference in Nashville, we hosted a party to thank those who have assisted us along the way and helped introduce SidePlate to new markets. Thanks again to all of our partners.  

 

A list of all partners honored can be found HERE.
