As we enter the new school year, we caught up with some of our 2026 Simpson Strong-Tie Student Scholarship recipients to learn about their experiences during the Strong-Tie Undergraduate Fellowship field trip.
When developing quality products at Simpson Strong-Tie, we invest considerable resources into testing their strength and performance in the expected field applications. We have a number of labs across our branches to help us do this. One individual who helps make that happen is our McKinney, Texas R&D Lab Manager Francisco Hernandez. In this blog, Francisco shares what he does in his role and his journey with Simpson Strong-Tie.
